Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cos a = 3 /5

From trigonometry ;

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Side Adjacent angle a = 3 = FD

Hypotenus = 5 = DE

3 / 5 = FD / DE

FD = 6 units

3/5 = 6/DE

DE * 3/5 = 6

DE = 6 ÷ 3/5

DE = 6 * 5 /3

DE = 30 /3

DE = 10 units

Answer:

$CD=4 \text{ cm }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a similarity of triangles. Once the side BC and ED are parallel,

$\frac{BC}{AC} =\frac{ED}{AD}$

$\frac{10}{AC} =\frac{5}{4}$

Once $AC=AD+CD \Rightarrow AC=4+CD$

$\frac{10}{4+CD} =\frac{5}{4}$

$5CD+20=40$

$5CD=20$

$CD=4 \text{ cm }$

16^3x+8^x+6<br><br>Could you please give me the steps as well for this problem?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$16^{3x} = 8^{x+6} \\2^{4(3x)} = 2^{3(x+6)} -->$ (16 = $2^{4}$ and 8 = $2^{3}$ )

$2^{12x} = 2^{3x+18}$

Since the base number is 2, the exponents must equal each other.

So:

12x = 3x+18

9x = 18

x = 2
