Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine Ratio is the best tool to solve this problem.
cos38°=x/8
x =8*cos38°
x = 8*0.79
x = 6.32
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In right triangles only, the tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by its adjacent side.
Therefore, we have the following equation:

Solving, we get:

Also in right triangles only, the cosine of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We can also use the Pythagorean theorem now that we've found BC. However, if you choose to do so, make sure you don't use a rounded value for BC, as that could cause a notable deviation in your final answer.
Using the Pythagorean theorem to verify our answers:

Answer:
D) p³ + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Illiana cubed (³) the number of original plants, p, in the garden. Then, she added 2 more plants. We will use n for the number of total plants.
So, the equation should be p³ + 2. Substitute our value for p into the equation and solve.
p³ + 2 = n
3³ + 2 = n
27 + 2 = n
29 = n
There are 29 total plants.
The answer, then, is the last option, p³ + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
Good luck ^^
9 quarters = $2.25; and 16 nickels= $0.80.
9 quarters plus 16 nickels is 25 coins and $2.25 + $0.80 = $3.05
