Answer:

9.23 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle = cos 52 degrees = adjacent side/hypotenuse

Cos (52 degrees) = 0.615661

0.615661 = x/15

(0.615661)*(15) = x

x = 9.23 ft

iogann1982 [59]

Hello,

If the teacher has 1/2 of an eraser, and she divides it into 2 pieces to give 1 to each of her students, she gives (1/2) / 2 = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 of the eraser to each student.

Each student takes home 1/4 of the eraser.

Hope this helps!
