Answer:

the total weights in tons is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total weights in tons is shown below:

The weight of 8 cars would be

= 4,500 pounds × 8 cars

= 36,000 pounds

Now as we know that 1 ton = 2,000 pounds

So for 8 trucks it would be

= 36,000 pounds ÷ 2,000 pounds

= 18 tons

Hence, the total weights in tons is 18

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Sati [7]

$x=13.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x

$tan41^o=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{12}{x}$

Multiply both sides by $x$

x × $tan41^o=12$ ( divide both sides by $tan41^o$ )

x = ≈ ( nearest tenth )
