First way
arcsin(1/4) means that 1/4 sin of the angle.

sin(α)=1/4
sin²α+cos²α=1
(1/4)²+cos²α=1
cos²α=1-1/16 =15/16
cosα=+/-(√15)/4

<span>Second way
</span>
sin(α)=1/4 =opposite leg/hipotenuse
cos(α)=adjacent leg/hypothenuse
adjacent leg =√(hypotenuse²- Opposite²)=√(16-1)=√15
cosα=+/-√15/4

For one value of sinα, possible 2 values of cosα.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean and Greg share a 24-ounce bucket of clay

Sean uses 3/8 of the bucket

= 3/8 ×24

= 9 ounce

Greg uses 1/4 if the bucket

= 1/4 ×24

= 6 ounce

= 9+6

= 15 ounce

Therefore the quantity left in the bucket can be calculated as follows

= 24-15

= 9

Hence 9 ounces are left in the bucket
