Let's solve for the variables in the triangles using trigonometry.

For triangle 4 (finding t):

  1. Identify the knowns and unknowns.

    We have a right-angled triangle with an angle of 41∘41^\circ. The side adjacent to this angle is 9, and the hypotenuse is 't'.

  2. Choose the appropriate trigonometric ratio.

    Since we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we use the cosine function: cos⁡(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}.

  3. Substitute the values and solve for t.

    cos⁡(41∘)=9t\cos(41^\circ) = \frac{9}{t} t=9cos⁡(41∘)t = \frac{9}{\cos(41^\circ)} t≈90.7547t \approx \frac{9}{0.7547} t≈11.93t \approx 11.93

    The value of t is 11.93\boxed{11.93}.

    For triangle 5 (finding x):
    This triangle is labeled with 'x' for both the hypotenuse and the angle. As presented, with only one side (20) given and two unknowns labeled 'x' (one for the angle and one for the hypotenuse), this problem cannot be solved using standard trigonometric methods. To find 'x' (the side) or 'x' (the angle), either the angle or another side would need to be provided. If the problem implies that the numerical value of the angle is the same as the numerical value of the hypotenuse, it leads to a transcendental equation (xsin⁡(x∘)=20x \sin(x^\circ) = 20) which is not solvable with basic trigonometry. Therefore, this problem is unsolvable as currently presented due to insufficient information or ambiguous labeling.

    For triangle 6 (finding x):

  4. Identify the knowns and unknowns.

    We have a right-angled triangle with an angle of 25∘25^\circ. The side opposite to this angle is 'x', and the side adjacent to this angle is 12.

  5. Choose the appropriate trigonometric ratio.

    Since we have the opposite side and the adjacent side, we use the tangent function: tan⁡(θ)=oppositeadjacent\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}.

  6. Substitute the values and solve for x.

    tan⁡(25∘)=x12\tan(25^\circ) = \frac{x}{12} x=12×tan⁡(25∘)x = 12 \times \tan(25^\circ) x≈12×0.4663x \approx 12 \times 0.4663 x≈5.59x \approx 5.59

    The value of x is 5.59\boxed{5.59}.
