Thanks!  

Answer
1. 1/2 = 1-2(1/4) = 1/2
2. a. 12(1/2)-(6/2)(2^1/2) +(2^1/2)/52 =
b. (3^1/2)/2 +1 -(3^1/2)/2 +2^1/2 = 1 +2^1/2
3. sin(x) = 4/5, tan(x) = 4/3
4. x/17 = 3/4 so x = 12.75, 17^2 = (12.75^2+y^2)^1/2 so y = 11.24
5. don't you have a calculator to do these?
a. 0.38617, b. 0.70793, c. 0.75794, d. 0.20557, e. 0.98291, f. 2.9031, g. 2.0606
h. 0.86808, i. 0.19866, j. 0.96495
6. a. 18deg 3' 1", b. 62deg 14' 59", c. 39deg 24' 1", d. 81deg 26', e. 6deg 6' 59"
f. 56deg 14' 28", g. 67deg 5' 25", h. 7deg 40' 30", i. 72deg 5' 15", j. 41deg 10' 21"
7. cos(28.7) = h/375.5 so h = 329.4 ft
8. a. c = (117^2 +16.35^2)^1/2 = 118.14
b. cos(8.48333) = 32.8/c so c = 33.163, sin(8.48333) = b/33.163 so b = 4.8922
9. sin(36.3667) = 550/x so x = 927.6 ft
10. tan(30) = h/(x+6) and tan(45) = h/x so h = 8.196 ft
