The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given
Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known
Here, if we use cos x = 
we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star
Note: cos values for each x are definite.
They are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles have equal measures.
Answer:
Yes. Both are graphing calculators. TI 83 has a black only screen while the TI 84 has a colored screen
Amanda purchased a 30 year $10,000 bond at par value with a 4% coupon.
We find the coupon amount each year
Coupon amount = actual amount of bond * 4%
= 10,000 * 0.04 = 400
Coupon amount for every year = 400
Total value of coupons for 30 years = 400 * 30 = 12000
$12,000 is the total value of the coupons
What do we do? Is there a attachment?
