Answer: x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles = 90*
Set the two equations equal to 90. Solve
4x + 6 + 4x - 4 = 90
8x +2 = 90
8x = 88
x = 11
Plug it in to see if it makes equation true
4 (11) + 6 + 4 (11) - 4 = 90
44 + 6 + 44 - 4 = 90
50 + 40 = 90
90 = 90
Answer:
22*1.06 = cost of meal with tax = 23.32
22*.20 = tip on the pre-tax cost = 4.40
Total = $27.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Choice C
7 divided by cosec 50 degrees
=====================================
Explanation:
Abbreviations:
sec = secant
cot = cotangent
cosec = cosecant (csc is also a widely used abbreviation)
-----------------
Let the horizontal leg be x
This leg is opposite the angle 50 degrees. The hypotenuse is 7
Opposite = x
Hypotenuse = 7
We'll either use the sine rule or the cosecant (csc) rule
sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
Since "sine" is nowhere to be found in the answer choices, we'll use the cosecant rule
-----------
cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(angle) = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(50) = 7/x
x*csc(50) = 7
x = 7/csc(50)
This is why the answer is choice C
