Answer: $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Pretax price of the meal.

Given: Sales tax = 8%

Tip percent = 20%

As per given ,

Amount spent = ( Pretax price) + (Sales tax )  of (Pretax price) + (Tip percent)of (Pretax price)

=  x+ 8% of x +  20% of x

= x +0.08+0.20x

= 1.28x

∵ Amount spent =  $23.04

So,

1.28x=23.04\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{23.04}{1.28}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=18

Hence, the pretax price of the meal= $18.

Answer:

\cos x=\dfrac{8}{f}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

\tan x=\dfrac{e}{8}\\\\\sin x=\dfrac{e}{f}

We need to find the value of cos x.

We know that,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}

Using the above relation,

\dfrac{e}{8}=\dfrac{\dfrac{e}{f}}{\cos x}\\\\\cos x=\dfrac{\dfrac{e}{f}}{\dfrac{e}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{e}{f}\times \dfrac{8}{e}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{f}

So, the value of cos x is equal to \dfrac{8}{f}.

What would x be?????
yarga [219]

Answer:

  12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of near and far distances to the circle from the point of intersection of the secant and tangent:

  (8 cm)^2 = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)

  16 cm = 4 cm +x . . . . . . divide by 4 cm

  12 cm = x . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4 cm

What is the length of EF in the right triangle below?
Tema [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to find EF

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

EF² + DF² = DE² ← substitute values

EF² + 12² = 18², that is

EF² + 144 = 324 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

EF² = 180 ( take the square root of both sides )

EF = \sqrt{180} → A
