Answer:

812/1037

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to use trigonometric identities.

Cos (A + B) is given as Cos A Cos B - Sin A Sin B. And from the question, we have that

Tan A = 8/15.

We know that in a triangle, the Tan angle is represented Opp/Adj and thus the Opp is 8, and the Adj is 15. Using Pythagoras, we have

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = 8² + 15²

hyp² = 64 + 225

hyp² = 289

hyp = √289 = 17

The identity of Cos is Adj/Hyp and that of Sin is Opp/Hyp.

Cos A = 15/17

Sin A = 8/17

Repeating the same process for B, we have

Sin B = 11/61

adj² = hyp² - opp²

adj² = 61² - 11²

adj² = 3721 - 121

adj² = 3600

adj = √3600 = 60

Cos B = 60/61

Now, using the earlier stated trigonometric identity, we have

cos (a + b) = CosA CosB - SinA SinB

cos (a + b) = 15/17 * 60/61 - 8/17 * 11/61

cos (a + b) = 900/1037 - 88/1037

cos (a + b) = 812/1037

Amy and Zach each have 24 feet of fencing for their rectangular gardens. Amy makes her fence 6 feet long . Zach makes his fence
saul85 [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

A = w * l

Where:

w: Is the width of the rectangle

l: is the length of the rectangle

Each of the girls has 24 feet of fencing, that is, the perimeter is P = 2w + 2l = 24.

Amy:

l = 6 \ ft\\2w + 2 (l) = 24\\2w + 2 (6) = 24\\2w + 12 = 24\\2w = 24-12\\2w = 12\\w = 6

Thus, Amy's fence area is: A = 6 * 6 = 36 \ ft ^ 2

Zach:

l = 8 \ ft\\2w + 2l = 24\\2w + 2 (8) = 24\\2w + 16 = 24\\2w = 24-16\\2w = 8\\w = 4

Thus, the area of Zach's fence is:A = 4 * 8 = 32 \ ft ^ 2

Answer:

Amy's garden has a greater area

36 \ ft ^ 2-32 \ ft ^ 2 = 4ft ^ 2, is 4 \ ft ^ 2greater
