Answer:

- The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

- The scientist can substitute these measurements into $cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.

Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

This is:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

In this case:

$\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC$

Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into $cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ , and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":

$cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}$

$AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}$

Solve: (x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Rainbow [258]

First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38

Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:

¼x + 8 = 38

Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152

Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32

Then subtract:

x = 120

Hope this helps :))

Create triangle A’B’C by reflecting triangle ABC over the y-axis on the coordinate plane. What are the new coordinates of the ve

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When talking about reflection, we usually mean reflecting across a line, or axis. Reflecting a shape means looking at the mirror image on the other side of the axis. Consider the point (x,y), if you reflect this point across the y-axis you should multiply the x-coordinate by -1, so you get:

$(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)$

For triangle ABC we have:

$A(-4,2) \\ \\ B(-1,3) \\ \\ C(-1,-4)$

Therefore, the reflecting points are:

$A'(4,2) \\ \\ B(1,3) \\ \\ C(1,-4)$

Both the original triangle and the reflected one are shown below.

There are 43 pine trees currently in the park. Park workers will plant more pine trees

Luden [163]

Answer:

20 pine trees

Step-by-step explanation:

No of pine trees today = 63

No of pine trees there = 43

So no of pine trees planted today= 63-43= 20
