See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²---->  equation 1

applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2

the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2

Let S represent the cost of a small box, and L represent the cost of a large box.

Matt's sale can be represented by the equation
  3S +14L = 203
Ming's sale can be represented by the equation
  11S +11L = 220

There are a number of ways to solve a pair of equations. One is to graph them. The graph shows the costs to be ...
  The cost of a small box of oranges is $7.
  The cost of a large box of oranges is $13.

Suppose u=<2,−1> and v=<1,−8> are two vectors that form the sides of a parallelogram. Then the lengths of the two di
tigry1 [53]
| u | = √(2² + (-1²)) = √5
| v | = √ ( 1² + (-8)² = √65
cos (u,v) = ( u * v ) / (| u | * | v |) =
 (2 * 1 + ( -1 ) * ( - 8 )) / √5 √ 65 = (2 + 8) / √5 √65 = 10 / (√5 √ 65 )
The length of a larger diagonal:
d 1² = | u |² + 2 |u| |v| + | v |² = 5 + (2 √5 √65 * 10 / √5 √65 )+65
d 1² = 70 + 20 = 90
d 1 = √ 90 = 3√10
d 2² = 70 - 20 = 50
d 2 = √50 = 5√2
Answer:
The lengths of the diagonals are: 3√10 and 5√2 .
