The three refers to 3 ten thousands. or 3 x 10,000.
Using cosine, we can find the hypotenuse by using the formula below;
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅
<h3 /><h3 /><h3>Trigonometric ratios:</h3>
- Trigonometric ratios are ratios of sides of a right angled triangle.
- The simplest ratios are cosine, sine and tangent.
Using cosine, the hypotenuse side can be solved as follows:
cosine ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cross multiply
hypotenuse cos ∅ = adjacent
divide both sides by cos ∅
hypotenuse cos ∅ / cos ∅ = adjacent / cos ∅
Therefore,
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅

3 feet 8 inches converted to inches is 3x12+8=44inches
44inches times 4 pieces is 176 inches.
176 inches converted back to feet and inches is 176/12=14 feet 8 inches so he would need 15 feet of board
