What is the product of 12 and 5 decreased by 17

43

Step-by-step explanation:

12x5-17 would be the equation

60-17 multiplication due to PEMDAS

43 subtraction

1. the triangle shown in the diagram  is a right triangle (it has an angle of 90°), so you can calculate the value of "x" "as below:

  tan(α)=opposite leg/adjacent leg

  the angle "α" is 60°, so the opposite leg is "x" and the adjacent leg is 5. 

  2. when you substitute these values, you have:

  tan(α)=opposite leg/adjacent leg
  tan(60°)=x/5
  x=(5)(tan(60°))
  x=5√3

  then, the answer is:   the value of "x" is 5√3
