Answer:
B. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
cos37° = 4/5 = x/10
=> 4(10) = 5x
=> x = 40/5
=> x = 8
The correct option is B.
I'm pretty sure $39.31 was the original sales cost because if you use proportions to find out what is 7.2% of 42.35 ( what you get you you subtract 45 by 2.65). Your equation would be x/42.35 = 7.2/100. 42.35 is the whole because tax is adding money onto your original cost, making that the part. When you cross multiply you get 100x = 304.92. Then you divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable, to get x = 3.04. But you don't stop there. Since 3.04 is only the 7.2%, you have to subtract that by 42. 35 to get a sum of 39. 31 as your total.
Answer:
The house is 18.75 feet tall
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.
We are given the length of the bottom sides of the triangles, 4 and 15 respectively.
Thus, the ratio is 4:15
We are also given the height of Annie's eyes, which is 5 feet. The height of the side that corresponds to the house is 5, so we can set up a proportion.

Thus, the house is 18.75 feet tall.
The value of x is 2 because we can compare like terms
