Answer:
<h2>50, percentage decreased by 14% (percent) of its value = 43</h2>
The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
All of your solution is right
Find the cosine ratio of angle ΘΘ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar and enter the fraction with no spaces. (4 points)
Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse
adjacent=8
Hypotenuse =17
cosΘ=8/17
