Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

Consider the proof for the identity csc(x)+sin(x)=(2-cos^(2)(x))/(sin(x)).
spin [16.1K]

1. given:

csc(x) + sin(x)

2. definition of csc(x) :

1/sin(x) + sin(x)

3. combining fractions with a common denominator:

(1 + sin²(x))/sin(x)

4. expanding 1 = cos²(x) + sin²(x) :

(cos²(x) + sin²(x) + sin²(x))/sin(x)

5. simplifying:

(2 sin²(x) + cos²(x))/sin(x)

6. employing the same identity as in (4) :

(2 (1 - cos²(x)) + cos²(x))/sin(x)

7. expanding 2 (1 - cos²(x)) :

(2 - 2 cos²(x) + cos²(x))/sin(x)

8. simplifying:

(2 - cos²(x))/sin(x)
