Answer:
x=11/7
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: 0.6</h3>
========================================
Work Shown:
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(T) = VU/VT
sin(T) = 3/5
sin(T) = 0.6
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem of a² + b² = c² to solve for x.
x² + (x + 3)² = (√117)²
x² + x² + 6x + 9 = 117
2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
2x² + 6x + 9 - 117 = 0
2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
2x² + 18x - 12x - 108 = 0
2x(x + 9) - 12(x + 9) = 0
(2x - 12)(x + 9) = 0
x = - 9, 6
Length cannot be negative so you can't use - 9.
x = 6. Option C is your answer.
