BAC ~ DEC what is the value of x?

Mathematics

Answer: x = 37.8

Step-by-step explanation: We start with triangle ABC with two sides given as 15 and 18. We shall make angle C the reference angle and thereby calculate the third side, line BC.

Since we have the opposite side as 15, and the adjacent side (which lies between the reference angle and the right angle) as 18, we can use the tangent of the angle C

Tan C = Opp/Adj

Tan C = 15/18

Tan C = 0.8333

From our table of values/use of the calculator

Tan C = 39.8

Angle C in triangle ACB = Angle C in triangle ECD (Opposite angles are equal).

That takes us to triangle ECD, since the reference angle is known (39.8) and the opposite side is also given (31.5), we can now calculate the adjacent which is side x.

Tan C = Opp/Adj

Tan 39.8 = 31.5/x

when you cross multiply, x moves to the left hand side, while Tan 39.8 moves to the right hand side

x = 31.5/Tan 39.8

x = 31.5/0.8333

<u>x = 37.8</u>

The area of a rectangle is length*width.

The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.

Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w

Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)

Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.

After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.

I hope this helped!
