Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
Principal clements needs to buy 10 packages
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Principal clements wants to buy a pencil for each of the 57 fourth graders in her school
The pencils come in packages of 6
Therefore,
Total number of students = 57
<em><u>Thus, divide 57 by 6 to get the number of packages clements need to buy</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>Substituting the given values we get,</u></em>

Thus principal clements needs to buy 10 packages
Answer:
x=0.996
Step-by-step explanation:

To take natural log ln , we need to get e^2x alone
Subtract 5 on both sides

Now we divide both sides by 3

Now we take 'ln' on both sides

As per log property we can move exponent 2x before ln

The value of ln(e) = 1

Divide both sides by 2

x= 0.996215082
Round to nearest thousandth
x=0.996
