12 more boys than girls

ratio of boys to girls = 7:5

thus 2/12 is difference between boys and girls = 12

total students = 12 ÷ 2/12 = 72

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value

Tatiana [17]

Given:

$\cos 15^{\circ}$

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}$

Using half-angle identity:

$$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}$

$$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}$

Using the trigonometric identity: $\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

$$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Using fraction rule: $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}$

Using $\sqrt{4} =2$ :

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

$$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

The width of Estelle's rectangular living room is 4 meters, and the distance between opposite corners is 7 meters. What is the l

Crank

Answer:

5.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Image a rectangle being cut diagonally in half, that would lead to two triangles. We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side.

7 is the hypotenuse and 4 is the side length

4^2+x^2=7^2

16+x^2=49

sqrx=sqr(49-16)

x=sqr33

x=5.74

Rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.7

Brut [27]

Answer: $20, 176

Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is multiply how much she gets paid per hour by the number of hours that she works so it would just be 9.70*40 which equals 388. Then you have to multiply that answer by the number of weeks in a year so it would be 388*52 and your final answer would be $20, 176.
