Explanation:

Set up two equations

2

x

+

2

y

=

54

x

×

y

=

176

Solving the first equation for x

2

x

+

2

y

−

2

y

=

54

−

2

y

this gives

2

x

=

54

−

2

y

Divide both sides by 2

(

2

x

2

)

=

54

−

2

y

2

This gives.

x

=

27

−

y

putting this value into the second equation gives.

(

27

−

y

)

×

y

=

176

multiplying across the parenthesis gives

27

y

−

y

2

=

176

subtracting 176 from both sides gives

is

27

y

−

y

2

−

176

=

0

multiplying by negative one gives

−

27

y

+

y

2

+

176

=

0

factoring this into y gives

(

y

−

11

)

×

(

y

−

16

)

=

0

Solving for both y's gives

y

=

11

,

y

=

16

Use the Law of Cosines to determine the length of the third side of the triangle.
Alchen [17]

<u>Corrected Question</u>

Given a triangle with two sides 4.1 cm and 6.7cm and an Included angle of 35^\circ. Use the Law of Cosines to determine the length of the third side of the triangle.

Answer:

(D) 4.1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle with two sides 4.1 cm and 6.7 cm and an included angle of 35^\circ.

Using Law of Cosines

a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cos A\\a^2=4.1^2+6.7^2-2*4.1*6.7\cos 35^\circ\\a^2=16.6958\\a=\sqrt{16.6958}\\a=4.09\\a \approx 4.1$ cm

The correct option is D.
