Answer:

Salary of President =   $180,000

Salary of Dept. Head =  $60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the salary of president and department head.

We let the salary of one of department heads be "x"

Since, the salary of president is THREE (3) TIMES a department head, we can say:

Salary of President = 3x

Now, we know the total of these 2 salaries is 240,000. Thus, we can write:

Salary of President + Salary of Dept. Head = 240,000

3x + x = 240,000

Now, we can solve for x:

3x + x = 240,000\\4x=240,000\\x=60,000

And now the president is "3x", so his salary is:

3(60,000) = 180,000

Thus,

President's salary = 180,000

Dept head's salary = 60,000

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value
Tatiana [17]

Given:

\cos 15^{\circ}

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}

Using half-angle identity:

$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}

$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}

Using the trigonometric identity: \cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

            $=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

            $=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}

Using fraction rule: \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}

            $=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}

Apply radical rule: \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}

           $=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}

Using \sqrt{4} =2:

           $=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}

$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}

What is the area of this trapezoid?
Sonbull [250]
Find the area of the square first
Area = Length x Width
Area = 12 x 9
Area = 108

Find the area of the right triangles
Area = 1/2(Length x Base)
Area = 1/2(9 x 2)
Area = 1/2(18)
Area = 9
Since there is 2 triangles multiply by 2
9 x 2 = 18

Now add
108 + 18 = 126
126 is your area
