What is the correct value of b ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

cos x = \frac{1}{secx} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{3} } = \frac{3}{5}

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos x = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{3b}{20}

Hence

\frac{3b}{20} = \frac{3}{5} ( cross- multiply )

15b = 60 ( divide both sides by 15 )

b = 4
