1. Given any triangle ABC with sides BC=a, AC=b and AB=c, the following are true :

     i) the larger the angle, the larger the side in front of it, and the other way around as well. (Sine Law) Let a=20 in, then the largest angle is angle A.

      ii) Given the measures of the sides of a triangle. Then the cosines of any of the angles can be found by the following formula:

       a^{2}=b ^{2}+c ^{2}-2bc(cosA)

2.

20^{2}=9 ^{2}+13 ^{2}-2*9*13(cosA)

400=81+169-234(cosA)   150=-234(cosA)

cosA=150/-234= -0.641

3. m(A) = Arccos(-0.641)≈130°,

4. Remark: We calculate Arccos with a scientific calculator or computer software unless it is one of the well known values, ex Arccos(0.5)=60°, Arccos(-0.5)=120° etc

Answer:

Measurement of this triangle's largest angle = 129.87°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = 9 in, b = 13 in and c = 20 in

We have cosine rule cosA=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

    cosA=\frac{13^2+20^2-9^2}{2\times 13\times 20}=0.938\\\\A=20.21^0\\\\cosB=\frac{9^2+20^2-13^2}{2\times 9\times 20}=0.867\\\\B=29.93^0\\\\cosC=\frac{9^2+13^2-20^2}{2\times 9\times 13}=-0.641\\\\C=129.87^0\\\\

Measurement of this triangle's largest angle = 129.87°

Point M is the midpoint of AB . AM=3x+3, and AB=8x−6.<br><br> What is the length of AM?
MissTica
AM=3x+3
AB=8x-6
AB=2AM
AM=AB/2
AM=(8x-6)/2
AM=4x-3
3x+3=4x-3
4x-3x=3+3
x=6

AM=3x+3
AM=3(6)+3
AM=18+3
AM=21

First we divide 102 by 12.75 to get the hours which is 8 hours. So it would take 8 hours
