A²=b²+c²-2bc Cos (a)
In this case , we can find the length of side a using the above cosine law.
If you are given the values of side b , c and angle a, then it is easy to calculate the length of side a.
To find side b,
b²=a²+c²-2ac Cos(b)
To find side c,
c²=b²+c²-2bc Cos (c)
Just the given values in the formula and get the length of the missing side. You can also find the missing angle using these formulas.

I hope this will help you.

Answer:

It's B on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right

Also, to everyone who is mad at the first person who answered this, they probably don't have edge and the person who asked the question didn't give a picture. They did their best

D is most likely right. Basically, I would turn them into decimals and divide using a graphing calculator.

One number is 8 a first number . A third number is 100 more than the first number . If the sum of three numbers is 750, find the

zloy xaker [14]

x+(x+8)+(x+100)=750
3x+108=750
3x=642
x=214
So your numbers are 214, 222 and 314

How do you factor out the coefficient of the variable

murzikaleks [220]

Factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer. In this case, the three terms have a 3x in common, which leaves: Step 3: Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.
