Answer:
Tom's share = €800
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000
Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4
Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6
Therefore,
Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6
Let,
x be the number of times of amount each get.
5x + 4x + 6x = 3000
15x = 3000
Dividing both sides by 15
Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800
Hence,
Tom's share = €800
so... notice the picture below, the angle in the fourth quadrant
now... notice, the cosine is just the distance the angle makes with the x-axis
so... using the pythagorean theorem, get the opposite side, from that triangle, keeping in mind that, "y" is negative in the 4th quadrant
once you get "y", get any other trigonometry value you need :)
