Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment is half the sum of the parallel bases, that is
(3x + 3 + 4x + 2) = 13
(7x + 5) = 13 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
7x + 5 = 26 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
7x = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 3
Answer:
the best estimate for each boc cost is $15
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 305 to 21 it is near 15

We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
