Answer:

9² = 40² + 41² - 2(40)(41) cos(C)

81 = 1600 + 1681 - 3280 cos(C)

81 = 3281 - 3280 cos(C)

-3200 = -3280 cos(C)

cos(C) = 3200 / 3280

cos(C) = 40 / 41

Nemo's aquarium is filled with 2,4002{,}400 2,400 2, comma, 400 cubic centimeters of water. The base of the aquarium is 20 cm 20

kolezko [41]

The water in the aquarium is a rectangular prism with dimensions 20, 12 and h (where the height is unknown).

We know that the volume is the product of the dimensions, and that it is 2400, so we have

$V=2400=20\cdot 12 \cdot h \iff 240h=2400 \iff h=10$

Tonya runs 8 kilometers in 60 minutes.At this rate,how long it take her to run 2 kilometers

Setler79 [48]

15 Minutes

You have 8 km in an hour.

Divide all that by two and you'll have 4 km in 30 mins.

Then divide by two again to end up with 2 km in 15 mins.

You could alternatively divide by four from the beginning, but I find this easier.
