Answer:
D.) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:

a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.
Fill in values:

Simplify exponents:

Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:

Find the square root of both sides:

The missing leg length is 8.
5x + 14 = 26
subtract 14 on both sides
5x = 26 - 14
5x = 12
Divide 5 on both sides
x = 12/5
x = 2.4
That's only to the nearest tenth. To make it to the hundreth, just add another 0 at the end. It doesn't change the value of it.
x = 2.40 is your final answer.
How many books has she read so far? She's been doing this for 7 months, so so far she's read:
7*3=21
how many does she still need to read?
30-21=9
so she needs to read 9 more books. With 3 books a month, this means:
9/3=3
so she needs to read 9 more books, which will take her 3 months!
1.5 is lesser than 0.5. Oh, wait nevermind I meant to say -1.5 is lesser than 0.5
I think the value of x is 20°.
