Need help ASAP fine the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth x=
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we use the sine rule

For the sine rule,

the ratio of the sides to the sine of the angle facing the side is equal for all the sides of the triangle

Thus,

x/sin 34 = 11/ sin 27

x = 11 sin 34/sin 27

x = 13.5

azamat

Answer:

6.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a university class has 26 students: 12 are art majors, 9 are history majors, 5 and are nursing majors, and the professor is planning to select two of the students for a demonstration, where the first student will be selected at random, and then the second student will be selected at random from the remaining students, to determine what is the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major the following calculations must be performed:

26 = 100

9 = X

9 x 100/26 = X

900/26 = X

34.61 = X

25 = 100

5 = X

500/25 = X

20 = X

0.2 x 0.3461 = X

0.069 = X

Thus, the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major is 6.9%.
