I'm thinking Huck Finn, and Of Mice and Men are similar, just by the dialogue, if not by the mannerisms of some of the characters.
I don't know if that answers the question but, hey; I tried. :-/
Answer:
8/17
Explanation:
The cos of angle x is eight seventeenth and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original:
Cos x = 8/17
Let the original triangle be ∆ABC
Dilated triangle be ∆DEF
Find attached the diagram.
All sides of the triangle are scaled by the same factor when we apply a dilation.
DE = 2 × AB
EF = 2 × BC
DF = 2 × AC
∠A = ∠D
∠B = ∠E
∠C = ∠F
Dilation also known as scaling does not affect angle measure. The angle measures remain the same.
Therefore, The value of the cos of x for the dilated triangle = 8/17
GPA can be calculated by adding up your grades as points. For example for my school, an A is 4, B is 3, and so on and so forth. Depending on how many subjects you have as grades, you add all those up, then divide it by how many subjects you have. Say I have all A’s in 7 subjects, I multiply 4 by 7 and get 28. I then divide by 7 because that is how many periods/subjects I have. I get a 4.0 GPA, which is how to calculate it. I don’t know the other question, but I hope this helps.
