Answer 2

i have no idea to be honest with u

Answer 3

okay...let's try to make it simple...what is your hypotenuse?

Answer 4

9

Answer 5

no...it's 9y cm

what is the side ADJACENT to angle x?

Answer 6

2 cm

Answer 7

good! so your sec x = \(\large \frac{9y}{2}\) but you also said sec x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

so we equate these two.. \[\frac{9y}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\] got it?

Answer 8

okay i get that now but what the answer thats not on it
