Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.

  • bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
  • after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y

Use substitution method to solve:

5(R - 836) = R

5R - 4180 = R   <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>

4R - 4180 = 0   <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>

4R = 4180         <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>

R = 1045         <em>divided both sides by 4</em>

Triangle KLM represents a section of a park set aside for picnic tables. The picnic area will take up approximately 400 square y
svetoff [14.1K]
Given triangle KLM with two sides given as 45 yd and 20 yd and a 25 degree angle opposite the 20 yd side.

We find the angle made at the opposite of the 45 yd side using the sine rule as follows.
\frac{\sin{A}}{a} =  \frac{\sin{B}}{b}  \\  \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{B}}{45}  \\ \sin{B}= \frac{45\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{19.0178}{20} =0.9509 \\ B=\arcsin{(0.9509)}=71.97^o

Thus, the third angle is given by 180 - 25 - 71.97 = 83.03 degrees.

We also use the sine rule to find the third side of the triangle as follows.
\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c} \\ \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{83.03^o}}{c} \\ c= \frac{20\sin{83.03^o}}{\sin{25^o}} = \frac{19.8522}{\sin{25^o}} =46.97 yds

Therefore, amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area = 45 + 20 + 46.97 = 111.97 ≈ 120 yds

exis [7]

Given my current rate = $129.00 per month.

Savings of 15% over your prices.

Therefore, saving = 15% of $129.00 = 0.15 × 129.00 =$19.35.

Adjusted rate = current rate - saving = 129 - 19.35 = $109.65

Therefore, We can rewrite above expression as :

My current rate is $129.00<u> </u><u>per month</u>." Representative: "We will match any competitive offer. Your adjusted rate will be <u>109.65 </u>dollars per month."
