Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft
b) Length of wire=3.09ft
Leftover wire=0.91ft
Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15
&=53.13°
Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15
15cos31.13
X=9
b) Tan&=10/6
Tan^-110/6
&=59.05
Length= 6cos59.04
X=3.09
4-3.09=.91= leftover wire
Quick answer I don't think this has an answer.
If you take the cos-1(2 sqrt(2)) your calculator should have a fit. Let's check that out. Mine certainly does. So there is something wrong with the question. If there is something to add in please do it and I will it least put an answer in the comments. As it stands, nothing will work.
If you put your calculator in radians, you will get an answer but it will not be anything resembling the choices you've listed.
If you meant sqrt(2) / 2 that would give 45o. Put it in your calculator like this 2 ^ 0.5 divided by 2 = 0.707
Cos - 1 (0.707) = 45
X=6
Z=8 so X:Z
=. 6/8
So 2 goes into both 6 and 8 so divide numerator and denominator by 2 which = 3/4
