38.
38/40=.95 so 2answers incorrect is the answer
The answer is x=0 I believe because it is the only logical area
Answer:
The distance between the posts is 
feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached figure, let DB and AC be the posts and let AD be the wire attached to the top of the posts.
BC is the distance between the posts and we need to find BC.
Note that BC = DE
Also, EC = DB = 8m and AE = AC - EC = 17 - 8 = 9 m.
Now, in the right triangle ADE,
= (24+9) (24-9)
= 33(15)
= (3 × 11) × (3 × 5)
Since DE = BC,
Hence, the distance between the posts is feet.
It is Prime and the only numbers that can go into it is 1 and 139.
<span>3) This one is a little different, since you're finding the angle instead of the side. You can denote the angle to be the variable x. Thus:
cos x = 14 / 26
Use a calculator to divide out 14/26, then round to four decimals.
cos x = 0.5385
Now go to the cosine chart and find which angle has the cosine 0.5385. It's a strange problem they gave you, because the chart doesn't have a value that matches it (kind of confusing if you ask me). But you can find two angles it is between. Notice that cos 57° = 0.5446 and cos 58° = 0.5299. Thus, the angle must be between those two. It turns out it is closer to 57°, so you can say:
x = 57° </span>
