Thomas had 5/12 of a pie. his friend, Katelyn ate 1/6 of his pie. How much is left?
Answer:
sin B = 15/17
Cos B = 8/17
Tan B = 15/8
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the equation you are solving?

Answer: 5</h3>
=========================================================
One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid. Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.
A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
This is the length of PQ
-----------------------------------
Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).
