Answer:
13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the trigonometric ratios
Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)
Now lets look back at the question
We are given an angle and its adjacent side length (11) and we need to find the hypotenuse
The hypotenuse and adjacent sides corresponds with the trig function cosine so we will use cosine to solve for x
( remember that cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse )
step 1 multiply each side by x
now we have
step 2 divide each side by cos(37)
we're left with x = 13.77439
Our last step would be to round to the nearest tenth
We would get that the answer is 13.8

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:
Finally, solve for x:
If you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
Hope this helps!!
