Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment VY is half the sum of the parallel bases , that is

VY = $\frac{EF+CD}{2}$ , then

3x + 18 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (x + 96) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

6x + 36 = x + 96 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x + 36 = 96 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

$\\ \\ =\frac { \cos { x } }{ \sin { x } } \cdot \frac { \sin ^{ 2 }{ x\left( 1-\cos ^{ 2 }{ x } \right) } }{ \cos ^{ 2 }{ x } } \\ \\ =\frac { \cos { x } }{ \sin { x } } \cdot \frac { \sin ^{ 2 }{ x\cdot \sin ^{ 2 }{ x } } }{ \cos ^{ 2 }{ x } } \\ \\ =\frac { \cos { x } \sin ^{ 4 }{ x } }{ \sin { x\cos ^{ 2 }{ x } } } \\ \\ =\frac { \sin ^{ 3 }{ x } }{ \cos { x } }$

$\\ \\ =\sin ^{ 2 }{ x } \cdot \frac { \sin { x } }{ \cos { x } } \\ \\ =\sin ^{ 2 }{ x } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ \frac { \cos { x } }{ \sin { x } } } \\ \\ =\sin ^{ 2 }{ x } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ \cot { x } } \\ \\ =\frac { \sin ^{ 2 }{ x } }{ \cot { x } } \\ \\ =RHS$

A wall is 3600 sq ft.

torisob [31]

Answer:

1 gallon / 600 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, we are given that 600 sq ft uses one gallon to cover, therefore one gallon covers 600 sq ft (just vice versa of what's given).

F the point T is between the points B and N, then which of the following is true?

valentina_108 [34]

Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say

BT + TN = BN

which is the segment addition postulate.

Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT

Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.
