There is 75% of a pizza and there are 3 siblings who want to eat it for lunch. They divide what they have of the pizza evenly among themselves. In terms of a whole pizza, what percent did each sibling get.
This question would mean dividing 75% or .75 by 3 which would mean each person got 25% or .25 of what would be a whole pizza.
So while each person would get .33 of the current sized pizza (.75) in terms of a whole pizza it would be .25
I hope this makes sense! Sorry if I over explained it.
I believe that makes the two angles acute, because they are less then 90 degrees.
I'm guessing that you don't really want the formulas. I think what you actually want
is the definitions of those functions of an acute angle when it's in a right triangle.
Cosine = (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse)
Tangent = (opposite side) / (adjacent side)
Sine = (opposite side) / (hypotenuse)
Tell me if I'm wrong, and I'll find some formulas for you.
The answer should be -192. I could explain in the comments if you would like. :)
<u>Define x:</u>
Let Fred had x dollar.
Fred = x
Greg = x + 17
<u>Solve x :</u>
x + x + 17 = 85
2x + 17 = 85
2x = 68
x = 34
<u>Find the amount each of them had:</u>
Fred = x = $34
Greg = x + 17 = 34 + 17 = $51
Answer: Greg had $51
