Answer:
x>0
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture attached to better understand the problem
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²----> equation 1
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2
the answer isthe hypotenuse is (3√2)/2
Let the number total slices = x
He ate (1/4) x
He has x - 1/4 x = 3/4 x slices left.
Each one of these slices is cut into 1/8s
T (total number of slices) = 8 * (3/4x)
T = (8*3/4) x
T = (24/4)x
T = 6x slices.
Cos is the adjacent (side next to the angle in question) divided by the hypotenuse (sloped side)
for angle K, this is therefore 7/25
