if you stay as a property tax rate of .069, and you pay $2,849.84 in property taxes every year , what is the assessed value of your property?

Hey there! :)

D. 8 / sec 35° = x.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the adjacent side is being solved for. This means that we will need to use cos, or adjacent/hypotenuse.

Begin by writing an equation where 'x' is the adjacent side:

cos 35° = x / 8

Simplify this equation by multiplying both sides by 8:

8 · cos 35° = x / 8 · 8

8 cos 35° = x.

None of the answer choices represents this exact expression, so convert cosine to secant:  

If 8 cos 35° = x, then:

8 ÷ = x

Or:

8 / sec 35° = x. The correct answer is D.
