Answer:

x = B. 18 ROOT 2/ROOT 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two Triangles in the diagram above.

Step 1

We would solve for Triangle A First

Using Trigonometric function Cosine

cos θ = adjacent /hypotenuse

θ = 30°

Adjacent = 9 units

Hypotenuse = unknown

cos 30= 9/ Hypothenuse

Cross Multiply

cos 30 × Hypotenuse = 9

Hypotenuse = 9 / cos 30

cos 30 in surd form = √3/2

Hypotenuse = 9/√3/2

Hypotenuse = 9 × 2/√3

= 18/√3 units

Step 2

We would solve for the upper triangle = Triangle B

We are looking for x

θ = 45°

For Triangle B, the Hypotenuse we solved for in Triangle A is equivalent to the adjacent in Triangle B

Therefore ,

Hypotenuse for Triangle A = Adjacent side for Triangle B

θ = 45°

Adjacent = 18/√3 units

Hypotenuse = x = unknown

We would solve for this using Trigonometric function cosine

cos 45 = 18/√3 units / Hypothenuse

Cross Multiply

cos 45 × Hypotenuse = 18/√3 units

Hypotenuse = 18/√3 units / cos 45

cos 45 in surd form = 1/√2

Subtituting, we have

Hypotenuse (x) = 18/√3 units / 1/√2

Hypotenuse (x) = 18/√3 units ×√2/1

= 18× √2/ √3 units

= 18 √2/√3 units

Therefore x = Option B. 18 ROOT 2/ROOT 3

Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m?
grandymaker [24]
-2m - 5m = -7m
-7m - 8 = 3 -7 + m
3 - 7 = -4
-7m - 8 = m - 4
-7m - 8 + 8 = m - 4 + 8
-7m = m + 4
-7m - m = m + 4 - m
-8m = 4
-8m/-8 = 4/ -8
FINAL = m=  -1/2 = -0.5
