HOW TO SOLVE:
1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
4x + 3x + 5x = 18
3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
12x = 18
4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
x=1.5
5) Find the lengths of the sides:
- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6
- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5
- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5
SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
The answer is D because The ordered pairs graphed are (2,3), (6,9), and (8,12). They all have a ratio of 2 to 3. Which means each point is 2 larger on the x-axis and 3 larger on the y-axis than the previous point. The point that is missing is (4,6) since 2 + 2 = 4 and 3 + 3 = 6.
Cosecant = hypotenuse / opposite side ( that is 1 / sine)
csc C = AC / 8
AC = sqrt (6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt 100 = 10
so cosecant of C is 10/8 = 1.25
