Hello from MrBillDoesMath!



Answer:

Choice B,    -2  sqrt(85) / 85



Discussion:

By definition,

cos(@) =  length of side adjacent to angle / hypotenuse

            =  -2/ ( sqrt (    (-2)^2 + (9^2)   )              (usin Pythag. theorem)

            = -2/ sqty (4 + 81)

            = -2 / (sqrt(85)

Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(85):

           =  (-2 / ( sqrt(85) ) * (sqrt(85)/sqrt(85) )

           = -2  sqrt(85) / 85


which is choice B


Thank you,

MrB

2. The Great Pyramid outside Cairo, Egypt, has a square base measuring 756 feet
lisabon 2012 [21]

First convert the dimensions of the pyramid from feet to yards.

1 yard = 3 feet.

756 feet / 3 ft per yard = 252 yards.

480 feet / 3 ft per yard = 160 yards.

The formula for volume of a pyramid is:  Area of the base x the height divided by 3.

Volume = 252 yds^2 x 160/3 = 63504 x 160/3 = 3,386,880 cubic yards.

Now to find the number of bricks needed. divide the total volume by the volume of 1 brick:

3,386,880 / 1.5 = 2,257,920 total bricks.

1 How many times does go into 1 - ? 4 2 А. 1 B) 2 - 2 2 OT C 8 3 D 4​
stira [4]

Hey there!

To solve this, we can use division. First, lets turn 1 \frac{1}{4} into an improper fraction:

\frac{5}{4}

So, we have

\frac{5}{4} / \frac{1}{2}

We can multiply by the reciprocal:

\frac{5}{4} *\frac{2}{1}

That gives us

\frac{10}{4} =\frac{5}{2} =2\frac{1}{2}

Hope it helps and have a great day!

8 inches

And we know that 8 × 10 = 80

There for the :-

Width is 8 in

Length is 10 in

Hight is 3 in

The proof is if you multiply all of them you have to get 240

And if you multiply 8, 10, and 3 you get 240
