"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

Our angle teta is:
teta = 3pi/4
since that is larger than pi/2 but less than pi that means that our angle lies in II quadrant (x negative y positive)
sin(3pi/4) = √2/2
cosine and tangent of that angle must be negative because of position of the angle.
cos(3pi/4) = -√2/2
tan(3pi/4) = -1
Answer:
11 1/3 minutes per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 miles jogged in 8 1/2 minutes.
So 1 mile jogged in: 8 1/2 divided by 3/4 = 8 1/2 x 4/3 = (17 x 4) / (2 x 3) = 11 1/3 minutes per mile
