What is the angle measure θ in degrees such that cos(θ) = 2/16? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Answer: 83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find theta, you must take the arccosine of both sides. The arccosine eliminates the cosine, and extracts the argument. Therefore:

cos(x)=\frac{2}{16} =\frac{1}{8}

arccos(cos(x))=arccos(\frac{1}{8} )=x

Use a calculator the find the arccosine of 1/8. Its nearly impossible to find the exact answer without one:

x=arccos(\frac{1}{8} )

x=83

Mallory and Aimee save money for summer camp. They both plan to save the same amount of money. Mallory has 35$ and plans to save
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.857 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided we can create the following equations for the total amount Mallory (M) and Aimee (A) will save after x number of weeks...

M = 35 + 15x

A = 5 + 50x

Now we would need to make both of these equations equal one another and solve for x to calculate after how many week both Aimee and Mallory will have saved the same amount of money

35 + 15x = 5 + 50x  ... subtract 5 and 15x from both sides

30 = 35x  ... divide both sides by 35

\frac{30}{35} or 0.857 = x

Finally, we can see that after 0.857 weeks both Mallory and Aimee will have saved the same amount of money.

*** The process provided is correct but I believe that the actual values for Aimees savings should be $50 and plans to save $5 a week, this would make the final result 1.5 weeks which would make more sense***

A 5.5 foot tall woman is standing 14 feet from a streetlamp casts a six foot shadow. How high is the lamp?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The height of the lamp is  18.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in two triangle rectangles, one with cathetus of:

5.5ft and 6ft (the one formed by the woman ad her shadow)

And another triangle with cathetus equal to:

6ft + 14ft (the distance between the end of the shadow and the lamp)

And the other cathetus is the height of the lamp, H.

As bot triangles will share an angle (the one formed by the end of the shadow and the hypotenuse) then the triangles are equivalent, so the quotient between their cathetus will be equal, this is:

H/(6ft + 14ft) = 5.5ft/6ft

H/(20ft) = 5.5ft/6ft.

H = (5.5ft/6ft)*20ft = 18.33 ft

The triangles are similar. If QR = 9, QP = 6, and TU = 19, find TS. Round to the nearest tenth.
Feliz [49]
QR=9
QP=6
TU=19
TS=?
Okay so the triangles are kindred, now the equation can be made
9/16=6/x
So now we are going to cross multiply
9x=114
Now divide both sides by
912 2/3
Your answer is:
TS=12.6
