Hello,

If you are starting with the angle of 40 degrees, you have an adjacent side and hypotenuse. Therefore, it is a cosine relationship.

We can write:

cos(40) = adj / hyp
cos(40) = x / 220

To solve for x, simply multiply 220 by the cos(40).
You can write it as: 220 cos(40)

Good luck,
MrEQ

cos40=x/220

(220)cos40=x/220(220)

220cos40=x

Students were packed shoulder to shoulder in a gym for a pep rally. The students were in a rectangular shaped area of 7,500 ft2.

Answer: 1527

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Area = 7500 ft^2

Area covered by one student = Area of one circle

= π*r^2

r = radius of circle = 2.5/2 = 1.25 ft

Area covered by one student = π*1.25^2 = 4.91 ft^2

Number of students who can fit into total area = Total Area/Area covered by one student

Number of students who can fit into total area = 7500/4.91 = 1527.49

Hence the answer is 1527 students

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1

Shkiper50 [21]

There can be no negative in a sqrt
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1 $\geq$ 0
x $\geq$ -1
so all answers must be greater then or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(-1,infinity) is the domain
