C=90°, A=75°, b=AC=19, x=AB
Without a figure, we see AC is adjacent to angle A, so
cos A = AC/AB = b/x
x = b/cos A = 10 / cos 75° ≈ 38.637
Answer: 38.6
A=30000+0.03S and B=25000+0.05S.
When A=B, 5000=0.02S, so S=$250000 when the earnings are the same.
The slope of A is smaller than that of B. In excess of this value of S B pays more than A and below it A pays more than B.
So answer option B. (When S=0, clearly A is better than B. Put S=$300000, A pays $39000 and B pays $40000).
