3/x = 5/(x+4)
5x = 3(x+4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6

Answer:

C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the rectangles in the figure are similar.

<em>Thus, the corresponding sides of the two rectangles will be equal.</em>

So, we get,

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{5}{x+4}

i.e. 3(x+4)=5x

i.e. 3x+12=5x

i.e. 2x=12

i.e. x = 6.

Hence, the value of x is 6.

_______________


Let  \mathsf{\theta=sin^{-1}(x)\qquad\qquad-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\ \textless \ \theta\ \textless \ \dfrac{\pi}{2}.}

(that is the range of the inverse sine function).


So,

\mathsf{sin\,\theta=sin\!\left[sin^{-1}(x)\right]}\\\\ \mathsf{sin\,\theta=x\qquad\quad(i)}


Square both sides:

\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=x^2\qquad\qquad(but~sin^2\,\theta=1-cos^2\,\theta)}\\\\ \mathsf{1-cos^2\,\theta=x^2}\\\\ \mathsf{1-x^2=cos^2\,\theta}\\\\ \mathsf{cos^2\,\theta=1-x^2}


Since \mathsf{-\,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\ \textless \ \theta\ \textless \ \dfrac{\pi}{2},} then \mathsf{cos\,\theta} is positive. So take the positive square root and you get

\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\sqrt{1-x^2}\qquad\quad(ii)}


Then,

\mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{sin\,\theta}{cos\,\theta}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}}\\\\\\\\ \therefore~~\mathsf{tan\!\left[sin^{-1}(x)\right]=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\qquad\qquad -1\ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 1.}


I hope this helps. =)
