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°

Solve the inequality and state the answer in interval notations 3x-7 ≤ 14
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-7 ≤ 14

3x≤ 14+7

3x≤ 21

x≤ 21/3 = 7

=> x = (-∞;7]

That means that x can be any negative number and any positivi number (1,2,3...7)

the area of 4 walls and ceiling of a room is 107 metre per square. if the room is 6m long and 5m wide, how high is the room?
lawyer [7]

Area of ceiling: 6 x 5 = 30 square meters:

Area of 4 walls = 107 - 30 = 77 square meters

2 walls = 6 + 6 = 12 meters long

2 walls = 5 + 5 = 10 meters long

12 + 10 = 22

77 square meters / 22 meters = 3.5 meters

The walls are 3.5 meters high.

Over [174]

Answer:

Ans is 59

Step-by-step explanation:

46 +51+y=180 (sum of triangle)

y=180-46-51

y=83

now,

83+x+38=180

x=180-83-38

x=59

value of x is 59
