Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formulae for cosine

cos(x ± y) = cosxcosy ∓ sinxsiny

---------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 + x) = cos120cosx - sin120sinx

                   = - cos60cosx - sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2} cosx - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} sinx

squaring to obtain cos² (120 + x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 - x) = cos120cosx + sin120sinx

                   = -cos60cosx + sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2}cosx + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinx

squaring to obtain cos²(120 - x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Putting it all together

cos²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

= cos²x + \frac{1}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}(cos²x + sin²x) = \frac{3}{2}

the area of a trapezoid is 36 square inches. The height is 4 inches and one bases twice the length of the other base. What are t
vlada-n [284]
The formula for this is A= \frac{1}{2} ( b_{1} + b_{2} )h.  Filling in accordingly, 36= \frac{1}{2}(x+2x)(4).  This simplifies to 36= \frac{1}{2}(3x)(4) and 36=6x.  Therefore, x = 6 so the bases are 6 and 12.
