To solve this problem, we know that time it takes the person to travel at distance is given by t = distance / rate .So in the attached file, you can see the step by step solution for this problem.
And the answer for this question is: The person should walk 6 - 1.5 miles or 4.5 miles along the shore

Given that sin theta = 1/4, 0
GaryK [48]
Answer: cos(Θ) = (√15) / 4

Explanation:

The question states:

1) sin(Θ) = 1/4

2) 0 < Θ < π / 2

3) find cos(Θ)

This is how you solve it.

1) Use the fundamental identity (in this part I use α instead of Θ, just for facility of wirting the symbols, but they mean the same for the case).

(cos \alpha )^2 + (sin \alpha )^2 =1

2) From which you can find:

(cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (sin \alpha )^2

3) Replace sin(α) with 1/4

=> (cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (1/4)^2 = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16

=> cos \alpha =+/- \sqrt{15/16} = +/- (\sqrt{15} )/4

4) Given that the angle is in the first quadrant, you know that cosine is positive and the final answer is:

cos(Θ) = \sqrt{15} /4.

And that is the answer.

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator is 12 because there are 12 possible outcomes.  The numerator is 3 because there are 3 numbers in this set that are greater than 9.  You get 3/12 which then simplifies to 1/4
