Answer:
18.0 cm to 1 decimal point.
Step-by-step explanation:
First work out the unknown side (s) of the right triangle using the Pythagoras theorem:
s^2 = 13^2 - 5^2
= 169 - 25 = 144
s = sqrt 144 = 12 cm.
Now consider the other triangle:
s = 12
The missing angle = 180 - 65 - 40 = 75 degrees.
By the Sine Rule:
x / sin 75 = 12 / sin40
x = 12 sin 75 / sin 40
= 18.03

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (6x-10) - x
Opening bracket
= 6x/2 - 10/2 - x
= 3x - 5 - x
= 2x - 5
