Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.
Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:
Then, knowing that:
You need to substitute these values into:
Now, you can solve for "x":

Answer: 9</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
a = unknown = leg #1
b = 12 = leg #2
c = 15 = hypotenuse
Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2 .... substitution
a^2 + 144 = 225
a^2 = 225 - 144 ... subtracting 144 from both sides
a^2 = 81
a = sqrt(81) .... applying square root to both sides
a = 9
Let the number x.
Then the number divided by 2 gives
Subtract 3.8 from the quotient gives
Hence,
x = 21.6
Answer:
The answer is square root 72 or if you don't want to put it under the square root, just simplify and you get 8.49. Just use the distance formula.
