Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.
a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:

we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:

and solve for for cos(θ)

side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by
b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:

we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:
- length of the adjacent side = 1
- length of the hypotenuse = 52
we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.




- length of the opposite side = √(2703) ≈ 51.9904
we can find the sin(θ) using this side:


and since 

17 + 5shirts = 42
5shirts = 42-17 = 25
1shirt = 25/5 = 5
A shirt costs £5.
3*5 + 1hat = 17
15 + 1hat = 17
1hat = 2
A hat costs £2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:
A (-4,1)
B (-7,5)
C (0,1)
The area of a triangle is given by:

where b is the base and h is the height.
Here we can take as follows:
- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:

- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
