Answer: x-6
Explanation: x^2 is a DOTS, or difference of two squares. 36 is a perfect square and x^2 is a perfect square, and you are finding the difference. Therefore, you can do (x+6)(x-6). This works with any number. If there was x^2-16, it could be factored to (x+4)(x-4)
I'll do Problem 8 to get you started
a = 4 and c = 7 are the two given sides
Use these values in the pythagorean theorem to find side b
With respect to reference angle A, we have:
- opposite side = a = 4
- adjacent side = b =
- hypotenuse = c = 7
Now let's compute the 6 trig ratios for the angle A.
We'll start with the sine ratio which is opposite over hypotenuse.
Then cosine which is adjacent over hypotenuse
Tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent
Rationalizing the denominator may be optional, so I would ask your teacher for clarification.
So far we've taken care of 3 trig functions. The remaining 3 are reciprocals of the ones mentioned so far.
- cosecant, abbreviated as csc, is the reciprocal of sine
- secant, abbreviated as sec, is the reciprocal of cosine
- cotangent, abbreviated as cot, is the reciprocal of tangent
So we'll flip the fraction of each like so:

Summary:
The missing side is
The 6 trig functions have these results
Rationalizing the denominator may be optional, but I would ask your teacher to be sure.
If the triangle is a right triangle, then
(3x)² + x² = (10)² .
9x² + x² = 100
10x² = 100
x² = 10
x = √10 = approx. 3.1622...
If ' x ' is <em>anything less than √10</em> , then the short sides are too short
to make a right angle at the top, and the angle where they meet
is obtuse.
' x ' has to be greater than 2.5 ... otherwise the two short sides
can't stretch far enough to reach both ends of the long side (10) .
So, if 2.5 < x < √10 , then there is a triangle, and it's obtuse.
The correct answer is D.
Sally is 3 years younger than Ralph therefore S=R-3 which means Sally is Ralph’s age minus 3.
6 times 50 is 300, there’s your answer. He was 300 dimes altogether.
