Well you can't actually find a number, but you can make an equation.
lets call the bag of candy x, and the number of students in the teachers class S.

she gives every student in her class 4 pieces, so to find that amount, we have to multiply the number of students in her class by 4, the pieces of candy. 4S

afterwards she has 48 pieces, which is the endpoint, x is the starting point because that's the amount of candy the teacher started with.

so your equation is x-4S=48, but the thing is, the question is looking for the amount of students she gave candy to, so we have to isolate S, or in easier words; put S on one side, and the numbers on the other.

so the equation is S=1/4x-12

Answer:

The big prism= \frac{25}{18} feet squared

Each individual cube= 216 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The big prism LxWxH

The individual cube = 1 foot/6 (amount of edges made of small cubes) = 2 inches.

IDK how to convert from inches to feet though cause I ain't American. Sorry.

the angle of depression from an airplane at an altitude of 8000 feet to the airport is 7 degrees. Find the direct distance from
Aleks [24]

Answer:

direct distance = 65,644.07 feet

horizontal distance = 65,154.77 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is the angle that the airplane does with the horizontal plane.

So, if this angle is 7° and the airplane is at an altitude if 8000 feet, we can find the direct distance and the horizontal distance using the tangent and the sine relations of the angle.

In the tangent of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the adjacent side will be the horizontal distance (hd), so:

tangent(7) = 8000 / hd

hd = 8000 / tangent(7) = 65,154.77 feet

In the sine of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the hypotenusa will be the direct distance (d), so:

sine(7) = 8000 / d

d = 8000 / sine(7) = 65,644.07 feet
