Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see two triangles rectangles, we will use the angle S to solve this, as this angle is common to both triangles.

We know that:

cos(S) = adj cathetus/hipotenuse.

Then we have, for the triangle SRT.

Cos(S) = 9/SR.

for the big triangle, SQR, we have:

Cos(S) = SR/(9 + 16)

now we can find the quotient of those two equations and get:

cos(S)/cos(S) = 9/Sr*(9+16)/SR

SR^2 = 9*(25)

SR =  15.

Now with this side we can find the value of x.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem in the triangle SRT, where the sum of the squared cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse:

9^2 + x^2 = 15^2

x = √(15^2  - 9^2) = 12

You do parenthesis first right? And then do division?
IrinaK [193]
Yes. Parenthesis first, then if any exponents, then multiplication or division, then addition and subtraction. PEMDAS.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution triangle is attached below :

Tonobtinnthe Angle formed, θ; we apply trigonometry ;

Using ;

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Cos θ = 4 / 7

θ = Cos^-1(4/7)

θ = 55.15°

θ = 55°
