Answer:
x=12 and the scale factor is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From D' to F' is 7.5 and from D to F is 5cm the difference is 2.5. From F' to E' is x and from F to E is 8. This is just understanding what you can see. You find x by figuring out the ratio from 5 to 7.5 is and 8 to x or vise versa. It depends which way you are going. I think you are going from E,D,F to E',D',F'. So from 5cm to 7.5 cm. This is 1.5 because you are dividing 7.5/5. If you needed to find x, it would be 12.
So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:
A.) Cos Z=b/c
B.) Sin X=c/b
C.) Tan X=b/a
<span>D.) Tan Z=a/b
</span>
The answer would then be
B. SinX = c/b.
Just remember SOH CAH TOA:
Sinθ= Opposite Cosθ = Adjacent Tanθ= Opposite
Hypotenuse Hypotenuse Adjacent
Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which.
Given m∠ZAdjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c
SinZ= a CosZ = b TanZ= a
c c b
Given m∠X:
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c
SinX= <u> b </u> CosX =<span><u> a </u></span> TanX=<span><u> b </u></span>
c c a
So the answer is B.
Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.
Answer:
The answer is B. (4) Because a coeffecient is the number next to the letter.
