Remark

I'm not sure I know what you mean, but I will answer trying to interpret it so it fits the description of the question.

Step One: Set up the equation. The normal way of solving this would be to use the Cos function.

Cos(theta) = Adjacent / hypotenuse = x/8 Multiply both sides by 8

8*cos(theta) = x Theta = 35

8*cos(35) = x This is about as simple a way as is possible.

6.553 = the height of the sale.

Step Three: try using the reciprocal

1 / cos(35)= hypotenuse / adjacent

1/0.8191 = 8/x cross multiply

x = 0.8191 * 8

x = 6.553

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

99 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of a data a is the sum of the data divided by the number of data.

Average = sum of data ÷ number of data

A = T/n .....1

For the average of 5 test to be 90.

The total sum of score must be;

Number of tests n = 5

Average A = 90

Substituting into equation 1

90 = T/5

T = 90×5 = 450 points

The total score must be equal to 450 point to have an average of 90 points

The sum of the first four test is;

88+84+88+91 = 351

Let x represent the first score,

351 + x = 450

x = 450 - 351

x = 99 points

The minimum score she can get in the fifth test is 99 points
