Answer:6
Step-by-step explanation:solve the equation, you know that it equals 90 because the angle is 90
so 16x-6=90
+6 both sides
16x=96
divided by 16 both sides to isolate x
x=6
Answer:
The average U.S. citizen throws away about 133.8 pounds of garbage a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
First take the total amount of trash thrown away in a year (1,606), and divide it by the number of months in a year (12).
1,606 / 12 = 133.833333
You would get 133.833333 and would round it to the nearest tenth and get 133.8.
Answer: There are two solutions and they are
theta = 135
theta = 225
=============================================================
Explanation:
Recall that x = cos(theta). Since the given cosine value is negative, this indicates x < 0. Theta is somewhere to the left of the y axis, placing it in quadrant 2 or quadrant 3.
It turns out there are two solutions, with one solution per quadrant mentioned above. Use the unit circle to find that the two solutions are:
theta = 135
theta = 225
You're looking for points on the unit circle that have x coordinate equal to x = -sqrt(2)/2. Those two points correspond to the angles of 135 and 225, which are in quadrants 2 and 3 respectively.

I recommend using your calculator to note that
-sqrt(2)/2 = -0.70710678
cos(135) = -0.70710678
cos(225) = -0.70710678
The decimal values are approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Because those three results are the same decimal approximation, this indicates that cos(135) = cos(225) = -sqrt(2)/2.
