Answer: 17 rows, 7 of yellow flowers and 10 of orange flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 40 orange flowers

we have 28 yellow flowers.

The total number of flowers is 40 + 28= 68

Now, we want to find the maximal comon factor between 28 and 40 (that will be the number of flowers in each row)

for this, we took the smallest number and find its factors, and then we see if those factors are also of the greater number.

28/1 = 28 ----> 40/28 is not integer, so 28 is not a factor of 40.

28/2 = 14 ----> 40/14 is not integer, so 14 is not a factor of 40.

28/3 is not integer.

28/4 = 7 ----> 40/7 is not integer, so 7 is not a factor of 40.

28/5 is not integer.

28/6 is not integer.

28/7 = 4, 40/4 = 10, so 4 is a factor of both 28 and 40.

Then the maximum number of flowers that we can put in each row is 4.

this means that we have:

28/4 = 7 rows of yellow flowers (with 4 flowers each)

40/4 = 10 rows of orange flowers (with 4 flowers each)

a total of 17 rows.

ALGEBRA 2/ TRIG QUESTION ATTACHED Please help ❤️❤️
ss7ja [257]
Let's calculate the value of angle A and B

sin(A) =-4/5 → sin⁻¹(- 4/5) = A  →  A = - 53.13


cos(B) = -5/13 → cos⁻¹ (- 5/13) = B  → B = 112.62


tan (A+B) = sin(A+B)/cos(A+B)  with A+B = -53.13 + 112.62 = 59.49

tan (A+B) = sin(59.49)/cos(59.49) = 0.86154/0.507688 = 1.6969.

(Answer H = 56/33 = 1.6969)

Two angles of a triangle measure 59° and 63°. If the longest side measures 28 centimeters, find the length of the shortest side.
Dmitrij [34]
Angles in a triangle ALWAYS equal 180 degrees, so 180-59-63= final angle (58 degrees) Then just use (Tan,Cos,Sin) with the angles to find the lengths, i can’t answer it as i don’t know what the triangle looks like

Margaret [11]

Answer:

a) 23.76%

b) 7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)

hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%

b)  probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13

probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12

now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%
