Sinθ=opposite side/hypotenuse
cosθ=adjacent side/hypotenuse
where both the sides are relative to theta.

in this case, 22 is your hypotenuse. theta (θ) is the angle you are examining. i've included a diagram for reference because the equations may format differently depending on which angle you choose as theta. 

using my diagram:

sinθ = o/h
sin 15 = o/22
sin 15(22) = o
o=5.69m/s

therefore the vertical component is about 5.69m/s.

cosθ=a/h
cos15 = a/22
cos15(22) = a
a = 21.25m/s

therefore, your horizontal component is about 21.25m/s.

Pythagoras was born about 582 bc. Isaac Newton was born in 1643 ad. How many years apart were they born?
malfutka [58]
B.C. counts down to 0, and that's when A.D. starts counting up. That means you can add 582 and 1643, to get their difference. Pythagoras and Newton were born 2,225 years apart.

Garden A has 9 more currant bushes than Garden B. If 3 currant bushes are transplanted from Garden B to Garden A, then Garden A
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A

Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B

x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3

x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3

x+3=1.5(x-12)

x+3=1.5x-18

0.5x=21

x=42

There were 42 current bushes in garden A
