Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From 3 1/2 (= 7/2) to 6 cups of flour (basically 6 divided by 7/2) is 12/7
now you multiply 3/4 times 12/7
it equals to 36/28
simplify each by 4
36/4 = 9 and 28/4 = 7
9/7
as a mixed number it is 1 2/7
we are given that
two triangles are similar
so, the ratio of their sides must be same
we get

now, we can solve for x
step-1: Cross multiply both sides

step-2: Simplify left side

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x


step-4: Divide both sides by 4

so,
............Answer
The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.
cos x = BC / y
Solving for BC
BC = y cos x
BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D
