X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11
Answer:
2403.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We get the length of the hypotenuse, and the base angle. To find the length of the base, we use the cosine of 16° since it is equal to the adjacent side length/ hypotenuse side length or cos 16°= x/2500. The isolate x by multiplying both sides by 2500. The cos 16° is around 0.96126, multiplied by 2500 (cos 16°(2500)) = 2403.1
