It's a y=mx+b equation, Carries' would be y=1/2 x - 125 (total profit is equal to the cupcake amount, each sold for 50 cents - the startup cost of 125). Juanita's would be y=2.25x-125. Comparing Carries' to Juanita's sales would mean that you would multiply x by 3 (no less than 3 times the ..). I may elaborate further on comparing in the comment section

If the given values in a right triangle are cos A =

Vlad1618 [11]

See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²----> equation 1

applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2

the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2
