Sam used his calculator to find the answer and wrote down cos 1.75 = 0.999. does this seem like a reasonable answer to you? what might he have done wrong on his calculator?

Since pi is equivalent to 3.14 and means 180°, therefore 1.75 which is about half of pi should be at almost 90°. The cos of a 90° angle which is located on the y axis should be zero, therefore cos 1.75 must be near zero. However in this case it is near one, clearly his calculator is in degree mode that is why he got an erroneous answer.

What Sam can do to get the correct answer would be to convert his calculator into radian mode or convert the given 1.75 rad into degrees:

θ = 1.75 rad (180° / π rad)

θ = 100.2676

cos 100.2676 = -0.1782   which is now correct since it is nearer to zero

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.

well if he bought them at 5 cedis each sold them at 7 cedis each then he would make a profit of 2 cedis of each book. if in total he made 150 cedis profit that means he sold 75 books. he lost 12 books at the start so that means he originally bought a total of 82 books.
