Need help solving for x

Mathematics

Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle. To solve for any of the side length of such triangle, apply the trigonometry ratio formula which can easily be remembered as SOHCAHTOA.

SOH is Sin θ = opposite/hypothenuse,

CAH is Cos θ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA is Tan θ = Opposite/adjacent

Thus, in the right triangle given, we have:

θ = 38°

Opposite side to the given angle = x

Hypotenuse = 15

We're going to use, sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(38) = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for x

15*sin(38) = x

15*0.616 = x

9.24 = x

<em>x ≈ 9.2 (to nearest tenth)</em>

Someone explain how to do this please!! dont need just an answer but explain as well

6.5 goes in the first box and 5.5 goes in the second box.

Explanation for first box: 13+2 is 15 and half of 15 is 7.5 so you need to take 13 and subtract 7.5. Once you do that, you end up with 6.5

Explanation for second box: (The negative 7 doesn't matter because you want the absolute value) 18+7 is 25 and half of 25 is 12.5. 18-12.5 is 5.5 so the answer would be 5.5

What is the volume of a cube shaped box with 6cm. In length?
zalisa [80]
Volume= lxwxh
v= 6cm x 6cm x 6cm (all are 6 because it is a cube, so all sides are equal)
v= 216 cm³

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = - 1/2 x + 5. (3 poi
telo118 [61]
First, it is important to understand that parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, based on the formula y=mx+b in which m represents slope and based on the equation y=-1/2x+5, the slope of the unknown line is also -1/2. Then, there are two different ways to solve this problem using different formulas.

The first method to find the unknown equation is easy but not widely known. We can use the point slope formula which is (y-y1)=m(x-x1) in which we can plug a point and slope to find the equation. When we plug in the values given, we get y+6=-1/2(x-4) or y+6 =-1/2x+2 which simplifies to y=-1/2x-4.

The other method is using the slope intercept form or y=mx+b. When we plug in our slope and our point, we get -6=-1/2*4+b or -6=-2+b so b must equal -4, therefore we have all the information we need to plug values into y=mx+b. When we plug in our slope and y-intercept, we get y=-1/2x-4 which is the answer.

I hope this helps!
