Answer:
Im not rally sure but maybe 5.71 , here is my explanation :
Step-by-step explanation:
Tan 55 =x/4
tan 55 = 1/42814
1/42814 = x /4
×=5.712592027 .
Y = 8x - 2
y = 9x - 7
8x - 2 = 9x - 7
- 8x - 8x
-2 = x - 7
+ 7 + 7
5 = x
y = 8x -2
y = 8(5) - 2
y = 40 - 2
y = 38
(x, y) = (5, 38)
The answer is C.
Your answer is A. You literally plug in the numbers for a and b to solve for the equation.
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
