Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth, Sun and Moon form a right triangle.

By the definition of cosine in a right triangle we can write that

cos x ° = adjacent side /hypothenuse = y/ distance Moon Sun

Since we measured the angle x, and the distance y we can use algebra to find the unknown distance between the moon and the Sun.

distance Moon Sun = y/cos x°

What adds to 17 but multiplies to 45

I am Lyosha [343]

No whole numbers do as if you look at the factors pairs of 45 none of them add to 17:

1, 45 = 46
3, 15 = 18
5, 9 = 14

The two numbers that add to 17 but multiply to 45 are can be calculated using the quadratic formula and are actually 13.72 and 3.28
