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\°)}

The question is Stephen read for 34 minutes on Monday and 45 minutes on Tuesday. Use breaking apart to find how many minutes Ste
user100 [1]
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.


The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45

The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45

Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9

Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

The answer: Stephen read for 79 minutes total.
