According to above figure, the angles (8x - 20)° and (5x + 37)° are pairs of vertical opposite angles, so
Answer:
18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right angled ; we could use trigonometry ;
Using the angle , 40° ; adjacent side, = 14 feets ; hypotenus = x
Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Cos 40 = 14 / x
0.7660444 = 14 / x
0.7660444x = 14
x = 14 / 0.7660444
x = 18.27
= 18 ( nearest foot)
Answer:
Due to there being no negatives in this equation, you can pretty much just eliminate the first 3 answers.
However in working out, here is what I did.
x^2 + x - 30 = 12 (+30)
= x^2 + x = 42
Then you can conclude that the answer is D, due to 6 x 6 = 36, plus 7 equaling 42.
