Answer:

there are 300 chapter books in the children's section

Step-by-step explanation:

the way you'd solve these kinds of problems is to turn it into an equation.

the ratio of 2:3 with a total of 500

<em>becomes</em>

2x + 3x = 500

2x + 3x = 500

<em>combine like terms </em>

5x = 500

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 5</em>

5x/5 = 500/5

x = 100

<em>now, substitute x in the original equation.</em>

2x + 3x = 500

200 + 300 = 500

There are <u>300</u> chapter books

Find the remaining trigonometric functions of θ based on the given information.csc θ = 257 and cos θ &lt; 0
katrin [286]
Cos(<span>θ) < 0, so we know it would be in Quadrant 2 or 3
then csc(</span>θ) = 257, but csc(θ) = \frac{1}{sin(θ)} = 257
==> sin(<span>θ) = \frac{1}{257}
it is positive, so now we can determine that is in Quadrant 2

sin(</span>θ) = opp./hyp both of opp and hyp are positive but adj suppose to negative because that way it leads the cos(<span>θ) < 0
</span>cos(<span>θ) = adj/hyp
</span>Pythereom to find the adj: 257^{2} -  1^{2}  = adj ==\ \textgreater \  adj  \sqrt{ 257^{2} -   1^{2} } ==\ \textgreater \  adj = 16 \sqrt{258}

cosθ = \frac{16 \sqrt{258} }{257} &#10;
tanθ = \frac{1}{16 \sqrt{258} }
cos<span>θ = </span>16 \sqrt{258}
