The height of the lighthouse is :
h = 14 ft ( same as the distance from Kelly to a lighthouse ).
tan y = 14 / ( 14 + 12 ) = 14 / 26 = 0.5384615
y = tan^(-1) 0.5384615  = 28.3°
Answer: y = 28.3°

There are 75 people in a room. Of these people, 2/5 are from Germany. If 4/9 of the people who are not from Germany are from Fra
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

25 people are not from Germany or France.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You first want find out what is the number of people from Germany.

So you would find...

2/5 of 75

or

2/5*75= 30 people from Germany

2. Next you want to to find out the number of people from France.

So you would do the following...

75-30=45 (Subtract the number of people from Germany from 75 so you can get the total number of people from France and other countries)

4/9 of 45 to find the number of people from France.

4/9 *45= 20

3. Lastly you need to find the people who are from neither of the countries listed above.

Add 30+20= 50

Then subtract that number from 75.

75-50= 25 people who are from neither France or Germany.

Voila! This is your answer. Hope this helps! :)

A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt. The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $18 . If s represents the cost
dolphi86 [110]

Let the price of 1 shirt be represented by = s

A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt, then the cost of pants is = 2s

The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $18 , means : s+2s=18

Solving this we get,                            

3s=18

s=6

So, the price of 1 shirt is $6 and price of 1 pair of pants is = 2s = 2*6 = $12.

For ΔABC, ∠A = 4x - 10, ∠B = 5x + 10, and ∠C = 7x + 20. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 3 to create ΔA'B'C'
VLD [36.1K]
We know that the angles of a triangle sum to 180°.  For ΔABC, this means we have:
(4x-10)+(5x+10)+(7x+20)=180

Combining like terms,
16x+20=180

Subtracting 20 from both sides:
16x=160

Dividing both sides by 16:
x=10
This means ∠A=4*10-10=40-10=30°; ∠B=5*10+10=50+10=60°; and ∠C=7*10+20=70+20=90.

For ΔA'B'C', we have
(2x+10)+(8x-20)+(10x-10)=180

Combining like terms, 
20x-20=180

Adding 20 to both sides:
20x=200

Dividing both sides by 20:
x=10

This gives us ∠A'=2*10+10=20+10=30°; ∠B'=8*10-20=80-20=60°; and ∠C'=10*10-10=100-10=90°.

Since the angle are all congruent, ΔABC~ΔA'B'C' by AAA.

Can you answer this plzz and the pic that goes with it???????? Thx soo much!!!!!
kkurt [141]

Answer: c. t > 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of tickets that the committee would sell.

The dance committee of Pine Bluff Middle School earns $72 from a bake sale and will earn $4 for each ticket they sell to the Spring Fling dance. This means that the revenue that they would generate from selling x tickets is

72 + 4x

The dance will cost $400.

To make profit, revenue must be greater than cost. Therefore, the inequality to determine the number of tickets the committee could sell to have money left over after they pay for this year's dance is

72 + 4x > 400

4x > 400 - 72

4x > 428

x > 328/4

x > 82
