Answer:

\Large \boxed{11.08}

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are congruent, we can use ratios to solve.

AD/DC = BE/EC

Let the length of EC be x.

6/14 = 4.75/x

Solve for x.

Cross multiply.

6 × x = 14 × 4.75

6x = 66.5

Divide both sides by 6.

(6x)/6 = (66.5)/6

x = 11.083333...

Greetings from Brasil...

Here we can use similarities of triangles

AC/DC = BC/EC

20/14 = (4.75 + X)/X

X ≅ 11.1

Given: cos θ=-4/5, sin x = -12/13, θ is in the third quadrant, 
USPshnik [31]

By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

N = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{28}{4}  =  \frac{21}{N}  \\  \\ 28N = 21 \times 4 \\ 28N = 84 \\  \\ N =  \frac{84}{28}  \\  \\ N = 3

I hope I helped you^_^
