Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...
bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x
x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.
Answer:
-12 > -24
Step-by-step explanation:
When the numbers are negative the number that is closer to zero is the greatest
Answer:
B. 39.59
Step-by-step explanation:
So 43 degrees, you know the length of the opposite side (27) and the angle (43 degrees), the only unknown is the hypotenuse. So you're looking for a trigonometric ratio that uses the angle (all of them do, except technically the inverse don't), the opposite side, and the hypotenuse. Sine is defined as 
. So let's plug in known values:
Multiply both sides by x
divide both sides by sin(43)
Normally I would use a calculator, but in this case I'll use the approximation given in the problem of 0.682
simplify the fraction
the nearest hundred spot is 700 for the number. when rounding for hundreds, you use the 2nd digit number. Example, if a proablem asks to round 521 to the nearest hundred it would be 500. Another rule to remember is that anything 5 and above you round up (ex: 589 would round up to 600). Anything below 5 you would round down (ex: 234 would round down to 200). goinf back to the problem, the answer should be 7,700
