Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
Answer:
tan (C) = 2.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A right angled triangle CDE right angled at ∠D.
Side CD = 39
Side DE = 80
Side CE = 89
We know, from trigonometric ratios that, the tangent of any angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the angle and the adjacent side of the angle.
Therefore, tangent of angle C is given as:
Plug in the given values and solve for angle C.This gives,
Therefore, the measure of tangent of angle C is 2.05.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.
For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...
(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)
4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses
2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
