<h3>Answer:  116.2°</h3>

Work Shown:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(C)\\\\55^2 = 24^2 + 40^2 - 2*24*40\cos(C)\\\\3025 = 576 + 1600 - 1920\cos(C)\\\\3025 = 2176 - 1920\cos(C)\\\\3025 - 2176  = -1920\cos(C)\\\\849  = -1920\cos(C)\\\\-1920\cos(C) = 849\\\\\cos(C) = (849)/(-1920)\\\\\cos(C) \approx -0.4421875\\\\C \approx \cos^{-1}(-0.4421875)\\\\C \approx 116.243535748231^{\circ}\\\\C \approx 116.2^{\circ}\\\\

The first equation is one of the three variations for the Law of Cosines.

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

I need help with the problem PLS help
Tanzania [10]


1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.

2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.

3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.

For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.

4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.

The focus of a parabola is located at (4,0), and the directrix is located at x = –4.
Tanzania [10]
The distance between the focus and directrix is, in this case, 8. Since the directrix is at x= something, the parabola opens sideways, and since the directrix is on the left, to the right. In which case, y^2=p(x), where p is 4 times distance of half of distance between directrix and focus, so the answer is y^2=16x
