Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x

y = k × 1/x. {where k is a constant}

when y = 3, x = 8

Therefore 3 = k/8 and k is 24

y = 24/x

When y = 4,

4 = 24/x

4x = 24

(dividing both sides by 4)

x = 6

Write the cosine ratio of angle b<br> and show work please

Dennis_Churaev [7]

The formula for cosine is adj/hyp. For angle B, 10 is the adjacent and 24 is the opposite. The hypotenuse ( in this case, 26) is the longest side. the ratio for angle b would be 10/26.
