<h3>Answer: Choice B \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}</h3>

===========================================================

Work Shown:

Angle theta is between 0 and pi/2, so this angle is in quadrant Q1.

Square both sides of the given equation

\sin \theta = \frac{1}{4}\\\\\sin^2 \theta = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2\\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1}{16}

Then use the pythagorean trig identity to get

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 1-\sin^2 \theta\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2 \theta} \ \ \ \text{cosine is positive in Q1}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16}{16}-\frac{1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16-1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}\\\\

Answer:

24.997 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diameter:

7(2) = 14 cm

Find the circumference:

C = \pi d

C = \pi (14)

C = 43.988

Divide the circumference by 4:

43.988/4 = 10.997

(This is the length of the curved side)

Add length to the other 2 sides:

7 + 7 + 10.997 = 24.997

Remark

Thank you for editing your question. Very few people do and those of answering don't really like reporting incomplete questions (or I don't).

You could write it like this.

Solve\dfrac{x}{7} > 800 Multiply both sides by 7

x > 800 * 7

x > 5600 That would make the inequality equal to 800 if x = 5600.

You need to go just 1 step further. Try 5607. When you divide that by 7, you get 5607/7 = 801 which is 1 bigger than 800.
