Answer:

6. 12.5 cm

7. 0.7241

Explanation:

6.

You have 2 right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean theorem for each one.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let y = length of vertical side between triangles.

Left triangle:

5^2 + y^2 = 13^2

25 + y^2 = 169

y^2 = 144

y = 12

Right triangle:

3.5^2 + 12^2 = x^2

12.25 + 144 = x^2

x^2 = 156.25

x = 12.5

Answer: x 12.5 cm

For <X, 2.0 ft is adj leg. 2.9 ft is hyp.

cos X = 2.0/2.9 = 0.6897

X = cos^1 0.6897 = 46.397 deg

sin X = sin 46.397 deg = 0.7241
