(x-8)(x+5)
First thing you do is put the X's into the parentheticals because it is x^2 meaning there are 2 factors with x's. Then, you wonder what factors of -40 could add to get -3. In this case, they are -8 and 5. -8 times 5 is -40 and -8 +5 is -3. Then, you just add -8 and 5 beside the x's in the parentheticals.
Answer:
x = 7.99 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying cosine rule in the given triangle,
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2(AB)(AC)cosC
Substitute the measures of the sides and the angle in this formula,
x² = 6² + 10² - 2(6)(10)cos(53°)
x² = 36 + 100 - 72.217
x² = 63.782
x = √(63.782)
x = 7.99 cm
Answer:
16 runs
Step-by-step explanation:
16-6=10
No. The two lengths 5 and 5 add up to 10; you'd have two sides of length 5 each placed end to end, equaling 10. That'd be represented by segments on a straight line, not a triangle.
Hope you've drawn a picture, so as to understand this better. ;)

go that much "clockwise", you'll end up at the 2nd quadrant,
the reference angle, is its reflective angle on the 1st quadrant
