I think the value of x is 20°.
Statement : Val spent $ 34 for the 2 items
contradiction : Neither of the 2 items that Val bought cost more then $ 15
think about it....if neither of them cost more then 15....lets say they cost 15 each...then there is no way he spent $ 34.....he would spend at most $ 30
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 triangles. The small triangle CDE has sides that are 8 and 20.
The big triangle CAB has sides 6+8 and 20 + x. Add the 6 and 8 which is 14. Create a proportion and cross multiply, divide, then solve for x.

Answer with explanation:
Given : The computed r -value = 0.45
Sample size : n=18
Degree of freedom : 
Now, the critical value for Pearson correlation coefficient for a two-tailed test at a .05 level of significance will be :
( by critical correlation coefficient table)
Since ,
i.e. 0.45>0.468 , then we say that his Pearson correlation coefficient is not significant for a two-tailed test at a .05 level of significance.
I took geometry a while ago, I can help if you want.
