There is this weird formula I use, 1/2 times 4 times 4 times sin(90)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, I would divide that by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I think you did something wrong, what is 1/2 times 4 times 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, what is 8 times sin(90)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the sin (90) i get 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tha twould mke it 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, what is 8 divided by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/4 is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
