Answer:
8/17
Explanation:
The cos of angle x is eight seventeenth and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original:
Cos x = 8/17
Let the original triangle be ∆ABC
Dilated triangle be ∆DEF
Find attached the diagram.
All sides of the triangle are scaled by the same factor when we apply a dilation.
DE = 2 × AB
EF = 2 × BC
DF = 2 × AC
∠A = ∠D
∠B = ∠E
∠C = ∠F
Dilation also known as scaling does not affect angle measure. The angle measures remain the same.
Therefore, The value of the cos of x for the dilated triangle = 8/17
Existence is futile. this simple statement is an inconvenient truth. many of us (the human species) spend their whole lives in pursuit of a goal that they hope will get them remembered for generations. even if one acheives such exalteration they've hardly altered the course of human history and even if they did, so what? who is going to care if we get off this rock prison we call earth or if we bake ourselves alive. nothing anyone can do can stop the sun from exploding nor the universe from ending in the heat death 1e+100 years from now.
