By solving a system of equations, we will see that m measures 12 units.
<h3>
How to get the measure of m?</h3>
Notice that we have 3 right triangles.
Then we can write the equations:
cos(a) = 6/m
For the small triangle on the left, where m is the hypotenuse.
cos(a) = m/(6 + 18)
For the larger triangle (the one composed of the two triangles).
Where in both equations, angle "a" is the one in the top left.
Then we have the system of equations:
cos(a) = 6/m
cos(a) = m/(6 + 18)
Then we can write:
6/m = m/(6 + 18)
If we simplify the expression, we get:
6*(6 + 18) = m^2
6*(24) = m^2
144 = m^2
√144 = m = 12
Then we conclude that m measures 12 units.

A function works like this:
You put any number you want into the input, and
the output depends on the number you put it.
That's why the output is the dependent variable.
The sum of the angles should be 180, so x+ (x+10) + (x+5) = 180. This simplifies to 3x + 15 = 180, so 3x = 165, so x=55.

Are you trying to find a variable expression? the product of 86 means multiplication so 86*n or 86n. Other than that I dont understand the question.
Answer:
84 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pounds of popcorn bought = 64 pounds
1/4th kept for family ==> 1/4 * 64 = 16 lbs
Remainder = 64-16 = 48 lbs
1/8th of remainder to club ==> 1/8 * 48 = 6 lbs to club
Remainder left over = 48-6 = 42 lbs
Distributed 42 lbs between each of 8 friends equally
Each friend gets 42/8 lbs = (42/8) * 16 = 84 ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound
