Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off...
well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333
then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333
so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right??
so your answer should be 80%
Hope i helped!!! :D

Please help!!<br><br> Find the value of x
nevsk [136]

Answer:

x = 62 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adjacent/ hypotenuse

cos x = 3.7/7.9

Taking the inverse cos of each side

cos ^ -1 ( cos x) = cos ^-1 (3.7/7.9)

x =62.07246803

To the nearest degree

x = 62 degrees

Find the value of x when 6- 2x = 5x - 9x + 8.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

value of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution : -

=》6 - 2x = 5x - 9x + 8

shifting like terms aside,

=》6 - 8 = 5x - 9x + 2x

\_(●_●)_/

=》-2 = -2x

=》x = -2 / -2

=》x = 1

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

    |\

    |  \

x   |    \      9

    |      \

    |        \                  

    |_____\

    4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79

Hope this helped!

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hypothenus = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the triangles are congruent (i.e same size). Thus,

AC = EF

BC = DE

To obtain the length of each Hypothenus, we shall determine the value of y and x. This can be obtained as follow:

For y:

AC = y + 3

EF = 2y + 1

AC = EF

y + 3 = 2y + 1

Collect like terms

3 – 1 = 2y – y

2 = y

y = 2

For x:

BC = 5x + 7

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

DE = 6x + 2(2)

DE = 6x + 4

BC = DE

5x + 7 = 6x + 4

Collect like terms

7 – 4 = 6x – 5x

3 = x

x = 3

Finally, we shall determine the length of each Hypothenus. This can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus = BC

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

x = 3

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

Hypothenus = 5(3) + 7

Hypothenus = 15 + 7

Hypothenus = 22

OR

Hypothenus = DE

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

x = 3

Hypothenus = 6(3) + 2(2)

Hypothenus = 18 + 4

Hypothenus = 22
