Answer:
(c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos42° = 
= 
Multiply both sides by 12
12 × cos42° = x, hence
x ≈ 8.9 → (c)
Both triangles area:
4.2 x 8.2 = 34.44
you don’t need to divide by two cause there’s two triangles anyways.
also, you get 8.2 by subtracting the total length by the top length. (13.5-5.3)
rectangle:
4.2 x 5.3 = 22.26
the total area is 56.7cm squared
The solution of the system can be x - 3y = 4 only if both the equations can be simplified to x - 3y = 4.
This will mean that both the equations will result in the same line which is x - 3y = 4 and thus have infinitely many solutions.
Second equation is:
Qx - 6y = 8
Taking 2 common we get:
(Q/2)x - 3y = 4
Comparing this equation to x- 3y = 4, we can say that
Q/2 = 1
So,
Q = 2
Therefore, the second equation will be:
2x - 6y = 8
I believe the answer is $33.60?
