Answer:

BC ≈ 19.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos71° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{6.3}{BC}$ ( multiply both sides by BC )

BC × cos71° = 6.3 ( divide both sides by cos71° )

BC = $\frac{6.3}{cos71}$ ≈ 19.4 cm ( to 3 sig. figs )

Answer:

x=54

Step-by-step explanation:

these two angles are supplementary to each other. this is because alternate interior angles are congruent, and 2x+42 degrees is supplementary to the alternate interior angle of x-24 degrees. so, we can add these two numbers up and set it equal to 180.

2x+42+x-24=180

3x+18=180

3x=162

x=54

if this question is asking for x, 54 is the answer. if it is asking for the angle measures, plug in 54 for x for each angle and solve.

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
$\frac{1}{2}$ x 4 = $\frac{4}{8}$

Now you can add the fractions:
$\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+ $\frac{5}{8}$ = 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ yards

Now subract 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ from 5:
5-2 $\frac{5}{8}$ =2 $\frac{3}{8}$ yards
