\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}

-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\

\bf \cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{\stackrel{height}{6}}{\stackrel{height}{12}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\impliedby \textit{scale factor of the pyramids}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{h}{h}=\cfrac{\sqrt{base}}{\sqrt{base}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{base}{base}}\implies \left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{base}{base}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1^2}{2^2}=\cfrac{base}{base}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=\cfrac{base}{base}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{h}{h}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{volume}}{\sqrt[3]{volume}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{volume}{volume}}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^3=\cfrac{volume}{volume}
\implies 
\cfrac{1^3}{2^3}=\cfrac{volume}{volume}\implies \cfrac{1}{8}=\cfrac{volume}{volume}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{1}{8}=\cfrac{\stackrel{volume}{v}}{\stackrel{volume}{400}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 400}{8}=v

Answer:

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=0.73$

Step-by-step explanation:

The identity you will use is:

$\csc \left(x\right)=\frac{1}{\sin \left(x\right)}$

So,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)$

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=\frac{1}{\sin \left(-\frac{\pi }{2}+\theta\right)}$

Now, using the difference of sin

Note: state that \text{sin}(\alpha\pm \beta)=\text{sin}(\alpha) \text{cos}(\beta) \pm \text{cos}(\alpha) \text{sin}(\beta)

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=\frac{1}{-\cos \left(\theta\right)\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)\sin \left(\theta\right)}$

Solving the difference of sin:

$-\cos \left(\theta\right)\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)\sin \left(\theta\right)$

-\cos \left(\theta\right) \cdot 1+0\cdot \sin \left(\theta\right)

-\text{cos} \left(\theta\right)

Then,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}$

Once

\text{sec}(-\theta)=\text{sec}(\theta)

And, \text{sec}(\theta)=-0.73

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=-\text{sec}(\theta)$

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=-(-0.73)$

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=0.73$

Therefore,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=0.73$

Anton [14]

Answer:

it would be 10 soccer balls

Step-by-step explanation:

10 every week if it was constant (because they could've sold more one week then less the next) but the genuine answer is 10 soccer balls :)
