Note that this is a right triangle, and that the length of the hypotenuse (17) is given, as is one of the acute angles (30 degrees). We need to determine the length of the "adjacent side," that is, the side of the triangle adjacent to the 30 degree angle. Which of the 6 trig functions relates the 30 degree angle, the length of the hypo. and the length of the adj. side?

cos theta = (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse)

Then cos 30 degrees = x / 17 units, or (17 units) cos (30 degrees) = x

Use your calculator to find the value of cos 30. Multiply your result by (17 units).
The result is your answer (the length of the horiz. side, DF).

The number of sweets s that each friend gets is the number of sweets in a box n divided by the number of friends f the sweets ar

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sweets s that each friend gets = the number of sweets in a box n ÷ number of friends f the sweets are shared between

s = n ÷ f

s = n/ f

if there are 60 sweets and 12 friends.

That is,

n = 60 sweets

f = 12 friends

Find s,

s = n/ f

= 60 / 12

= 5

s = 5 sweets

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5
