Answer:

Option D RX=4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle RTS

The cosine of angle TRS is equal to

cos(TRS)=RT/RS

substitute

cos(TRS)=6/9 -----> equation A

In the right triangle RTX

The cosine of angle TRX is equal to

cos(TRX)=RX/RT

substitute

cos(TRX)=RX/6 -----> equation B

∠TRS=∠TRX -----> is the same angle

Match equation A and equation B

6/9=RX/6

RX=6*6/9=4 units

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
 $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
The new ratio is obtained like this:
 $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

15 - 1/2 x 2 equals 14, but i dont know the steps

zloy xaker [14]

Remember PEMDAS - parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract

because multiply come before subtract, your first step would be 1/2 x 2 = 1

next, you subtract -> 15 - 1 = 14

14 is your answer

The constants, -3 and -8, are like terms

The terms 3p and p are like terms

The terms in the expression are p^2, -3, 3p, -8, p, p^3

The expression contains 6 terms.

Like terms have the same variables raised to the same powers.
