Answer:
24) x = 9.2
25) x = 30.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for triangles
Solving (24)
To solve for x, we make use of cosine formula
i.e.
cos(40) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse
So, we have:
cos(40) = x ÷ 12
Multiply both sides by 12
12 cos(40) = x
12 * 0.7660 = x
x = 9.2
Solving (25)
To solve for x, we make use of sine formula
i.e.
sin(25) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse
So, we have:
sin(25) = 13 ÷ x
Multiply both sides by
x sin(25) = 13
Divide by sin(25)
x = 13 ÷ sin(25)
Using a calculator
x = 30.8
If two fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is bigger.
3/8 is bigger.
