Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.cos
2.sin
3.cos
4.tan
5.sin
6.tan
The cosine of A is (adjacent side)/(hypotenuse) = 55/73. Do the division, then find the angle whose cosine is that number. The whole thing takes maybe 6 or 7 seconds with your calculator. It's choice-B.
