Answer:

a =17.08

b = 16.97

Step-by-step explanation:

What are the values of a and b?

Using pythagoras therem';

Hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

Get the value of b;

18^2 = b^2 + 6^2

324 = b^2 + 36

b^2 = 324 - 36

b^2 = 288

b = √288

b = 16.97

Get the value of a;

b^2 + 2^2 = a^2

288 + 4 = a^2

292 = a^2

a^2  = 292

a = √292

a= 17.09

yanalaym [24]

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.Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side and the length of the hypotenuse. In equation form:

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

Marcus shoes: 35.99(5.5%)= (about) $1.98(tax) so 35.99+1.98= 37.97

Tia shoes: 39.99(9%)= (about)3.60 (tax) so 39.99+3.60=43.59

However it’s 15% off so 43.59(15%)= 6.54 so 43.59-6.54= 37.05

The difference is 0.92
