In a box there are 21 identical pieces that have been enumerated using odd numbers from 5 to 45. How many tiles should be drawn

at random to obtain with certainty 3 tiles whose numbering sum exactly 33?

These are the only combinations of exactly 3 tiles that add to 33.

5,7,21

5,9,19

5,11,17

5,13,15

7,9,17

7,11,15

9,11,13

All tiles with numbers above 21 do not help you. 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45. There are 12 of them.

Every three-number combination must have one of the numbers 5, 7, or 9, so if the six numbers from 13 to 21 are picked, in addition to the 12 higher numbers mentioned above, you already picked 18 tiles, and you still have no solution. To obtain the solutions 5,7,21; 5,9,19; 7,9,17; he needs two more numbers in addition to the 18 he already has, so he needs 20 tiles in total to be guaranteed three of them add to exactly 33.

Answer: 20 tiles

Trigonometric Identities
bogdanovich [222]
\bf \textit{symmetry identities}\\\\
sin(-\theta )\implies -sin(\theta )\qquad \qquad cos(-\theta )\implies cos(\theta )
\\\\\\also~recall\\\\ sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)=1-cos^2(\theta)
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\\
[1-cos(-t)][1+cos(t)]\implies [1-cos(t)][1+cos(t)]

\bf 1^2-cos^2(t)\implies 1-cos^2(t)\implies sin^2(t)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\\
%Simplify each expression.  (1−cos⁡(−t))(1+cos⁡(t)) =  (1+sin(t))(1+sin(-t))=  csc⁡(t)tan⁡(t)+sec⁡(−t) =
[1+sin(t)][1+sin(-t)]\implies [1+sin(t)][1-sin(t)]
\\\\\\
1^2-sin^2(t)\implies 1-sin^2(t)\implies cos^2(t)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf csc(t)tan(t)+sec(-t)\implies \cfrac{1}{\underline{sin(t)}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{sin(t)}}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(-t)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(-t)}\implies \cfrac{1}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(t)}\implies \cfrac{2}{cos(t)}
\\\\\\
2\cdot \cfrac{1}{cos(t)}\implies 2sec(t)

How many feet are in 108 inches?
MissTica
Well first we need to know how many inches are in one foot which is 12 inches for every foot. So now we can take 108 inches / 12 because there are 12 inches to a foot and we need to convert inches to feet. Which gives us are end answer of 9 feet in 108 inches.
