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

Daltons dad rode 1 kilometer north 2 kilometers west 1 kilometer south and 2 kilometers east. Dalton rode the same path 5 times
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Dalton didn't ride any kilometer farther since he keeps threading in the same path as that of his father.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Dalton's dad rode 1 kilometer north, 2 kilometers west 1 kilometer south and 2 kilometers east, then he has been moving in a rectangular path.

If Dalton rode in the same path 5times, then Dalton's has not move farther than his dad since he is still moving in the same rectangular path. He is only expending more energy.

Their final destination will still be the same for both of them no matter how many times Dalton keeps threading in the same path.

Which of the following best describes the English expression the product of 2 and a number minus 11
kvasek [131]

Answer:

2x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of something means multiplication, and since we are only given one number we can use the variable x to represent it. And minus 11 is obviously subtraction, so we can put together the expression 2x-11.

To overcome rent fee, We need $36.

36/0.88= 40.90909....


So, Joel needs to sell at least 41 iceCream on country fair to make profits.
