Answer:
13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the trigonometric ratios
Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)
Now lets look back at the question
We are given an angle and its adjacent side length (11) and we need to find the hypotenuse
The hypotenuse and adjacent sides corresponds with the trig function cosine so we will use cosine to solve for x
( remember that cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse )

step 1 multiply each side by x

now we have 
step 2 divide each side by cos(37)

we're left with x = 13.77439
Our last step would be to round to the nearest tenth
We would get that the answer is 13.8
Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.
Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20
Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2
Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0 Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0
Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6) This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.
x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First you add like terms
12b+5.54b+2.46b-2b = 18b
3.2a+1.17a = 4.37a
2. Now you write it out
18b+4.37a
