let's notice something, angles α and β are both in the I Quadrant, and on the first quadrant the x-coordinate/cosine and y-coordinate/sine are both positive.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
126
Step-by-step explanation:
Row 1: 30+0*4
Row 2: 30+1*4
Row 3: 30+2*4
...
The list goes on. Do you see a pattern here? If we call the row number as r, the formula is 30+(r-1)*4. In the 25th row, the r is 25. So in the formula, it is 30+(25-1)*4=30+24*4=126.
I hope that helped.
Answer:
500 students in the school
Step-by-step explanation:
100 - 68% = 32%
boys percentage 68%
girls percentage 32%
difference 68 - 32 = 36% = 180
36 ÷ 18 = 2 × 50 = 100
180 ÷ 18 = 10 × 50 = 500
