Answer:
58.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the length of RS using similarity ratio
7/34 = 12/RS cross multiply expressions
7RS = 408 divide both sides by 7
RS = 58.2 approximately.
So to start you will need to divide by -5 then -5 divided by -5 cancelle
-12x-10=0 since the X can't combine with non X numbers
Side adjacent to the given angle: x
Diagonal=hypotenuse=20
cos (36° 42') =(side adjacent to angle 36° 42')/Hypotenuse
cos (36° 42')=x/20
Solving for x. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20:
20 cos (36° 42')=20 (x/20)
20 cos (36° 42')=x
x=20 cos (36° 42')
x=20 (0.801775644)
x=16.03551288
x=16.04
