Answer:
12.94811641 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
cos theta = adj/ hyp
cos 44 = x /18
18 cos 44 =x
12.94811641 =x
Triangles QST and RST are similar. Therefore, the following is true:
q s
--- = ---- This results in 10q=rs.
r 10
Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.
Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.
4 s
Also: ---- = ----- which leads to s^2 = 40
s 10
Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2
Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)
7-3=4
9-2=7
4x7=28

Parenthesis Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract
Multiply and Divide and Add and Subtract can be switched around with each other, but multiply and divide always happens before add and subtract. The reason you add first here is because it is in the parenthesis.
(10 + 14 + 8 + 16 + 12 + x ) /6 = 13
(60 + x) / 6 = 13
60 + x = 13 * 6
60 + x = 78
x = 78 - 60
x = 18 <=====
