Answer:

x = 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying sine ratio for the given angle B,

sin(39°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

sin(39°) = $\frac{AD}{AB}$

0.6293 = $\frac{AD}{7}$

AD = 4.41

By applying tangent ratio for the given angle C,

tan(50°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

1.19 = $\frac{AD}{x}$

1.19 = $\frac{4.41}{x}$

x = 3.7

Anna truncated the decimal expansion of x to find the best approximation. On a number line, the location of x is between 10.9 an

podryga [215]

Answer:

Well to estimate a decimal the best option would be to round it to.

10 or 11 (For 10.9)

11 (For 11.1)

and since two of them equal 11.

The estimation would be 11.

I hoped this helped.

Herman is traveling 125 miles from his house to the beach by car. Herman plans to stop for lunch when the ratio of the distance

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given distance between the house and the beach is 125 miles.

Let $x$ miles be the distance between the house and the lunch stop.

So, at the time of the lunch stop, he already traveled $x$ miles, the remaining distance is the distance between the lunch stop and the beach.

Let $y$ miles be the remaining distance, so

$y=125-x.$

Give that the ratio of the distance he has traveled, $x$ , to the distance he still has to travel, $y$ , is $2:3$ ,i.e

$x:y=2:3$

$\Rightarrow \frac x y =\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \frac {x}{125-x}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow 3\times x=2\times(125-x)$

$\Rightarrow 3\times x=2\times125-2\timesx$

$\Rightarrow 3 x=250-2x$

$\Rightarrow 3x-2x=250$

$\Rightarrow x=250$

Hence, the distance traveled by Herman when he stops for lunch is 250 miles.
