The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given
Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known
Here, if we use cos x = 
we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star
Note: cos values for each x are definite.
Answer:
5/14
Step-by-step explanation:
5/14 is the simplified form.
Answer:
if Im correct it should be $8.40
Step-by-step explanation:
why well if you think of breaking down by say 1/4 of 168 all you do is divide 4 which is the whole amount by 0.2 which is the amount the father gave her so 4/0.2= 20 the you take your whole 168 and divide by 20 which the whole number for 0.2 the your answer should be this 168/20= 8.4 which then i assumed it was $8.40 hopefully that is correct hehe
Step 1. Add 72 to both sides
5y = 7 + 5x + 72
Step 2. Simplify 7 + 5x + 72 to 5x + 79
5y = 5x + 79
Step 3. Divide both sides by 5
y = 5x + 79/5
