Area = 1/2 x B x H
1/2 x 28.3 x 12.8 = 181.12
Answer is #3
To set up or model a linear equation to fit a real-world application, we must first determine the known quantities and define the unknown quantity as a variable. Then, we begin to interpret the words as mathematical expressions using mathematical symbols. Let us use the car rental example above. In this case, a known cost, such as $0.10/mi, is multiplied by an unknown quantity, the number of miles driven. Therefore, we can write
0.10
x
. This expression represents a variable cost because it changes according to the number of miles driven.
If a quantity is independent of a variable, we usually just add or subtract it according to the problem. As these amounts do not change, we call them fixed costs. Consider a car rental agency that charges $0.10/mi plus a daily fee of $50. We can use these quantities to model an equation that can be used to find the daily car rental cost
C
.

When dealing with real-world applications, there are certain expressions that we can translate directly into math. The table lists some common verbal expressions and their equivalent mathematical expressions.
Answer:
cosA = 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean identity
sin²A + cos²A = 1 ( subtract sin²A from both sides )
cos²A = 1 - sin²A ( take the square root of both sides )
cosA = ± 
Since only the positive value is required , then
cosA = 
= 
= 
= 0.6
This would be:
Using common denominator of 6:
They should use
of their time.
