So basically... you divide the 3 to 2 and that's how you get the decimal. The decimal is... 0.666666666667
My triangle solver says EF ≈ 7.5 ft.
_____
The law of cosines is usually used for this.
EF^2 = DE^2 +DF^2 -2*DE*DF*cos(D)
.. = 6^2 +11^2 -2*6*11*cos(40°)
.. ≈ 55.88
EF ≈ √55.88 ≈ 7.5 . . . ft
1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation
2. Simplify
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 5
4. Simplify
5. x= 5
