This problem requires the use of trigonometric ratios. This one specifically uses the cosine ratio as it provides the hypotenuse and is asking for the side that is adjacent to the angle.

cos(40°)=a/16

cos(40°)×16=a/16×16

cos(40°)×16=a

a=12.256 ft

The length of side a is D. 12.3 ft.

marco has 37 1/2 ounces of juice he wants to pass out samples of the juice each cup can hold 2 1/2 ounces of juice how many cups

Crank

So 37 1/2
each can hold 2 1/2 oz

how many cups can he fill

37 1/2=75/2
2 1/2=5/2

x=number of cups
x times 5/2=75/2
5/2x=75/2
multiply both sides by 2
5x=75
divide both sides by 5
x=15
he can fill 15 cups
