Answer:

1. B

2. B

Step-by-step explanation:

** Attached picture of the situation

The bird caught the fish at point A, flew until B (which is 100 yds away, dropped the fish at C (which is horizontally 50 yards from A).

1.

We want the angle that the bird creates with the water (horizontal). It is angle BAC. With respect to the right triangle, we can say that we know "hypotenuse" and "adjacent" side to angle BAC. cosine relates hypotenuse and adjacent, thus we can write:

Cos(BAC)=(50)/(100)\nCos(BAC)=(1)/(2)\nBAC=Cos^(-1)((1)/(2))\nBAC=60

correct answer is B

2.

Here, we want to find the distance (length) of segment BC. With respect to the angle BAC (we found to be 60), we can say BC is "opposite". We know hypotenuse to be 100. So let's use sine, since sine is ratio of opposite to hypotenuse. Thus, we can write:

Sin(BAC)=(BC)/(100)\nSin(60)=(BC)/(100)\nBC=Sin(60)*100\nBC=86.6

correct answer is B
Answer 2
Answer:

The answers should be B)60 and B) 86.6

carol is excited to get a new kitten from the animal shelter. the kitten had an $299 adoption fee. carol had $50 off coupon for the adoption and will also have to pay $20 per month for food and supplies. how longg will it take for carol to spend $250​

Answers

Answer:

1 month

Step-by-step explanation:

249 is the amount she spends for buying the kitten, (299-50=249) which she only has to pay once.

20 is the amount she has to spend every month, the rate of change.

The problem can be modeled with the general equation:

y = 20x + 249

In this equation, x the the time in months and y is the amount of money spent.

Substitute 250 for y.

y = 20x + 249

250 = 20x + 249    <= isolate x to get the number of months

1 = 20x

x = 1/20

Carol will only spent money every month, not for 1/20 of a month.

It will only take Carol 1 month to spent $250.

Check answer:

Substitute x for 1

y = 20x + 249

y = 20(1) + 249

y = 269

269 is more than 250 already.

A Major League Baseball “diamond” is actually a square, 90 feet on a side. What is the distance directly from home plate to second base.

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 180 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is a square all sides are equal so the distance is between two lines so you only have to add two sides: (90+90=180).

I NEED HELP PLZZZ Josh simplified 4x - 8x / 2 and said the answer was -2x. What was Josh's error? What should his answer have been?\

Answers

Hello there, 

This is a trick question Josh did not have an error. If you have 4x-8x in the numerator that becomes a -4x/2.
So then -4x/2= -2x
Josh was not wrong.
