solve for x
thank you

23. x = 11.1 // 24. x = 21.4

Step-by-step explanation:

23.

Observe which sides are known and needed. 15 is the hypotenuse and x is the adjacent side. The trigonometric function that connects both the hypotenuse and the adjacent side is cosine. Using the degree, set up the equation as so: cos(42) = x/15. (Because cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, x is over 15). Isolate x to solve for it by multiplying both sides by 15. cos(42) * 15 is 11.1

24.

Observe which sides are known and needed. x is the hypotenuse and 11 is the opposite side. The trigonometric function that connects both the hypotenuse and the opposite side is sine. Using the degree, set up the equation as so: sin(31) = 11/x. (Because sine is opposite over hypotenuse, 11 is over x). Isolate x to solve for it by multiplying both sides by x and then dividing both sides by sin(31). 11 divided by sin(31) is 21.4

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

answer: translate the circles so they share a common center point and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3.
