Cosine = x-component/hypotenuse

cosine = 5 / √(12^2 + 5^2) = 5/13 = 0.385

First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$16y^2-25=0\\\\METHOD\ 1:\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\16=4^2\ \text{and}\ 25=5^2\ \text{therefore we have}\\\\4^2y^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y)^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y-5)(4y+5)+0\iff4y-5=0\ \vee\ 4y+5=0\\\\4y-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\4y=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{4}}\\\\4y+5=0\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\4y=-5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}}$

$METHOD\ 2:\\\\16y^2-25=0\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\16y^2=25\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\y^2=\dfrac{25}{16}\to y=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{26}}\\\\y=-\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}$
