Answer: Hello,
I am not doing that with sin, cos and pythagorean theorem.

DEFINITION: we call TAN x=sin x / cos x
This means that in a right triangle the tangent of an angle is the ration of opposed side by adjacent side.

11: tan 8°=12.5/d
==>d=12.5/tan 8°=12.5/0.14054...=88.942121...m≈88.9 (m)

12:
tan 28°=h/420
==>h=420*tan 28°=420*0.5317...=223.3179...≈223.3 (m)

A triangle is placed in a semicircle with a radius of 9 cmFind the area of the shaded region. Use the value 3.14 for π
, and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answers

Considering that the shaded area is the part of the semi circle outside the triangle:
Area of circle= Pi x radius2 (this means radius squared)
Area of triangle= 1/2 x base x height
1/2 (because it is a semi circle) x 3.14 (in replacement of pi as directed by question) x 9squared= 127.17

127.17 - (1/2 x 18 x 9) = 46.17cmsquared

Final answer:

The area of the shaded region can be found by subtracting the area of the triangle from the area of the semicircle.

Explanation:

To find the area of the shaded region, we need to calculate the area of the semicircle and subtract the area of the triangle from it. First, let's find the area of the semicircle. The formula to find the area of a semicircle is A = (π * r^2) / 2, where π is approximately 3.14 and r is the radius. Plugging in the values, we have A = (3.14 * 9^2) / 2 = 127.26 square cm.

Next, let's find the area of the triangle. The formula to find the area of a triangle is A = (base * height) / 2. In this case, the base of the triangle is the diameter of the semicircle, which is 2 * 9 = 18 cm. The height of the triangle is the radius of the semicircle, which is 9 cm. Plugging in the values, we have A = (18 * 9) / 2 = 81 square cm.

Finally, to find the area of the shaded region, we subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the semicircle: 127.26 - 81 = 46.26 square cm. So, the area of the shaded region is 46.26 square cm.

Allegra has a cell-phone plan that charges $65 per month and $0.10 for every minute that she uses the phone beyond what her plan allows. One month, she was billed $73.40.a. Define a variable for the unknown.
b. Write an equation to model the problem. Explain your answer.
c. Solve the equation. Show your work.
d. Find the number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows. Explain your answer.

Please help me with this problem, I don’t understand it. Thanks in advance! :D

Answers

It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
     8.40 = 0.10m
       84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.

Find the value of 45 - 0.023

Answers

The value of the expression 45 - 0.023 is 44.97

What are expressions?

An expression is a sentence with at least two numbers or variables having mathematical operation. Math operations can be multiplication, addition, subtraction,  division.

For example, 2x+ 4

Given that,

The expression  

⇒ 45 - 0.023

Now subtracting number 0.023 from the number 45

the number 45 is a integer

the number 0.023 is a decimal number

⇒  44.97

Hence, the value of expression is 44.97

Solve the equation 5m+4m=72

Answers

First of all we group our m's together. 
So first add
 5m + 4m = 9m 

Now lets set up our equation again 
9m = 72 .... divide both sides by 9 to get m alone
÷9  = ÷9 
************   now m is alone on the left side and we solve on the right side.
m = 8 

So your answer is 
m = 8 


Hello my friend

9m=72

Divide both sides by 9 so you can find the value for m

9m/9=72/9

m=8


I hope that's help:)
