Use the cos ratio to figure this out. You have the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the leg on the ground. The hypotenuse is 20 and the leg is 10. The cos ratio says that cosA = side adjacent/hypotenuse. So fill in the blanks here: cosA = 10/20...cosA=1/2. In your calculator, you will enter inverse cos(.5) to find that the angle in question is 60 degrees. To find the inverse function on your calculator, press the "2nd" button and the "cos" then in the (), enter ".5".

Trucks are delivering gravel to a construction site each truck hold 7.5 cubic yards of gravel. The weight of 1 cubic yard of gra
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:

 If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:

 w=7.5x1.48 tons
 w=11.1 tons

 The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?

 1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
                 x-------11.1 tons of gravel

 x=(11.1x1)/3.7
 x=11.1/3.7
 x=3 containers

 H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?
</span>
 The answer is: 3 containers.
