Answer: x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see two triangles rectangles, we will use the angle S to solve this, as this angle is common to both triangles.
We know that:
cos(S) = adj cathetus/hipotenuse.
Then we have, for the triangle SRT.
Cos(S) = 9/SR.
for the big triangle, SQR, we have:
Cos(S) = SR/(9 + 16)
now we can find the quotient of those two equations and get:
cos(S)/cos(S) = 9/Sr*(9+16)/SR
SR^2 = 9*(25)
SR = 15.
Now with this side we can find the value of x.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem in the triangle SRT, where the sum of the squared cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse:
9^2 + x^2 = 15^2
x = √(15^2 - 9^2) = 12
The question asks for a vertical line, and if it is vertical, it cannot be y = ... because that is horizontal. We also know it passes through the x-coordinate of -4, so the answer is x = -4.
Given:
Rectangle shape.
One side: 5x + 2
other side: x - 4
Area = length * width
Area = (5x+2)(x-4)
A = 5x(x-4) +2(x-4)
A = 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8
A = 5x² - 18x - 8
Answer:
10 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 cup times 4 is 1 cup
1/4 cup times 8 is 2 cups
now you have your two cups and you need two more 1/4 to make 2/4
<span>4x = 80,000
x= 80,000/.4
x = 200,000</span>
