Answer:

\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of Point b=(-8,15)

b lies on the circle whose equation is x^2+y^2=289

x^2+y^2=17^2

Comparing with the general form a circle with center at the origin: x^2+y^2=r^2

The radius of the circle =17 which is the length of the hypotenuse of the terminal ray through point b.

For an angle drawn in standard position through point b,

x=-8 which is negative

y=15 which is positive

Therefore, the angle is in Quadrant II.

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} \\$Adjacent=-8\\Hypotenuse=17\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-8}{17} \\\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}

Gretchen will earn $48 from mowing in 4 hours

Data

  • Amount earned on each lawn = $12
  • Number of hours mowing = 4 hours

<h3>What is Rate</h3>

This is the measure of one unit against another unit. An example of this is speed which is the rate of distance covered to time.

In this case, she mows 1 lawn in each hour and earns $12 on each.

To calculate for 4 hours

4*12=$48

She earns $48 from mowing 4 lawns
