Answer:
From his starting point of 85 3/4, he descended 17 9/20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know how much farther he went down from his starting point.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
S
tart off by making the denominators of both the numbers the same.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
103 4/20 - 85 15/20
Make them into improper fractions
2064/20 - 1715/20 = 349/20
Make 349/20 into a mixed fraction
17 9/20
Answer:
Proof in explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to attempt this by squeeze theorem.
We know that
is a variable number between -1 and 1 (inclusive).
This means that
.
for all value
. So if we multiply all sides of our inequality by this, it will not effect the direction of the inequalities.

By squeeze theorem, if 
and
, then we can also conclude that
.
So we can actually evaluate the "if" limits pretty easily since both are continuous and exist at
.

.
We can finally conclude that
by squeeze theorem.
Some people call this sandwich theorem.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Shape: Trapezoid



Required
Determine the length of the second parallel side
The area of a trapezoid is:

Substitute values for Area, Height and Side1

Multiply both sides by 2


Divide both sides by 18



Hence;
<em>The length of the second parallel side is 17cm</em>
Your question seems a bit incomplete, but for starters you can write

Expanding where necessary, recalling that

, you have

and you can stop there, or continue to rewrite in terms of the reciprocal functions,

Now, since

, the final form could also take

or
The Law of Cosine states
cos

so plugging in the numbers gives us
cos

We now have cosJ so plug that into your calculator and find arccos (arccos(cos(J)) = J)
arccos

rounding your answer will give you 34°
