Answer:  The required value of x is 8.1 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x from the figure.

From the figure, we notice that

it is a right-angled triangle with the length of the hypotenuse 10 units and one of the acute angle is of measure 36°.

Now, for the angle with measure  36°, the length of the base is x units and the length of the hypotenuse is 10 units.

Therefore, from the laws of trigonometry, we have

\cos 36^\circ=\dfrac{base}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos 36^\circ=\dfrac{x}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=10\times \cos 36^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow x=10\times 0.8090\\\\\Rightarrow x=8.09\\\\\Rightarrow x=8.1.

Thus, the required value of x is 8.1 units.

What is 3.116372 rounded to the nearest hundred thousandths place?
Neporo4naja [7]
Answer: 3.11637

Explanation: The hundred thousandths place is in the fifth place after the decimal. To avoid remembering this, you can simply note that the first place after the decimal is the tenths. You simply keep progressing as you would in whole numbers.

For example 10 becomes 100 when a zero is added. This zero is always added right beside the first zero and indicates the hundreds place.

Furthermore, the general rule for rounding is if the number after the preferred rounding place is 4 or less, the number remains the same. 5 or more means it goes up by one digit.

What is the mean in 74,75,80,76,75,81,78?
Alina [70]

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers together, then divide them to how much numbers are there.

74 + 75 + 80 + 76 + 75 + 81 + 78 = 539

Since there are 7 numbers, you divide 539 by 7.

539/7 = 77

The key word here is *square* in "square flower garden". 

So we need to find the area of the flower garden, and subtract it from the overall area of the yard. The remainder will be how much grass covers the yard.

Area of the Square flower garden:
 7.5 * 7.5 = 56.25

Area of the Entire yard:
25 * 18 = 450

450 - 56.25 = 393.75 square feet of grass
