First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2

If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12

Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).

I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...

Answer from: Quest

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity". that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both. the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature. this has important considerations for the human body's comfort. when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off. if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature. evaporation is a cooling process. when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature. when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases. in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions. the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases. the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions. there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

step-by-step explanation:

75% of the temperatures are below what value? how do you know? 75% of the temperatures are above w
