Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triangle is equilateral, each vertex has an angle that is equal to 60 degrees

As we can see, we have two sets of similar right triangles

The value x faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

Also, the side measure 4 is the adjacent side to the angle 60

The trigonometric identity that relates the hypotenuse and the adjacent is the cosine

it is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse

Mathematically;

cos 60 = 4/x

x = 4/cos 60

x = 8

The value of the definite integral / 212x – sin(x) dx / 122x-sin(x) is

blondinia [14]

Hi there!

$\boxed{= 70 + cos(12) - cos(2) \approx 71.26}$

$\int\limits^{12}_{2} {x-sin(x)} \, dx$

We can evaluate using the power rule and trig rules:

$\int x^n = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$

$\int x = \frac{1}{2}x^{2}$

$\int -sin(x) = cos(x)$

Therefore:

$\int\limits^{12}_{2} {x-sin(x)} \, dx = [\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+cos(x)]_{2}^{12}$

Evaluate:

$(\frac{1}{2}(12^{2})+cos(12)) - (\frac{1}{2}(2^2)+cos(2))\\= (72 + cos(12)) - (2 + cos(2))\\\\= 70 + cos(12) - cos(2) \approx 71.26$
