How would you set up this problem to find the height of the sail using reciprocal functions?

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

-4=w-6
-4+6=w
2=w

Therefore, w equals 2.

Do you guys support animal testing? (putting drug into animals to see how it affects them)

<em>I am against people doing this.</em>

<em>I think it's wrong because for some reason scientists are permitted to do this but that is breaking the law. I hate how they do it because these are just innocent animals that did nothing wrong to us, our scientists just decide it's ok to go stick needles in them and put stuff on them. My biggest problem with this is that they don't care about the effects their products have on innocent animals and instead of fixing their mistake and just apply it to humans, they just keep on going like there's no tomorrow. Animals have done nothing wrong to these people and I think that it's wrong to do so. Also, I don't really think that this proves anything. An animal's skin and fur are different than a human's skin and hair so it would make no sense to test these things on them because it really is guaranteed to give an accurate answer. Animals differ from us in so many ways that you should be able to think that scientists wouldn't harm these lovely creatures, but instead, they do. Why do scientists hurt these animals? I don't want to live in a world with hurt animals, especially when some of them have World Records, like the Sea Otter.</em>
