Cos
θ
=
√
5
3
or it could be cos
θ
=
√
5
−
3
Explanation:
Since sin
θ
is negative, it can be in the third or fourth quadrant
Drawing your right-angled triangle, place your
θ
in one of three corners. Your longest side will be 3 and the side opposite the
θ
will be -2. Finally, using Pythagoras theorem, your last side should be
√
5
Now, if your triangle was in the third quadrant, you would have
cos
θ
=
√
5
−
3
since cosine is negative in the third quadrant
But if your triangle was in the fourth quadrant, you would have
cos
θ
=
√
5
3
since cosine is positive in the fourth quadrant
Katie has enough bricks because it only takes 12,948 bricks to build the wall. To get 12,948, you will multiply 332 by 39. So basically you are multiplying the width by how tall it is.
The question to that answer is 10
Subtract the y then add the 4 to the other side so y=0
