two sides and an angle are given below. determine whether the given information results in one triangle, two triangles, or no tr
iangle at all. solve any resulting triangle(s). b = 8, c= 7, b = 170°
1 answer:
Answer:
A. single triangle. C = 8.74°, A = 1.26°, a = 1.01
Step-by-step explanation:
When two sides and an angle are given, the possibility of two (or zero) triangles exists only when the given angle is opposite the shorter of the two given sides. That is not the case here, so the given measures define one unique triangle.
<h3>Law of Sines</h3>The law of sines tells us the sides and angles have the relation ...
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c
We can use this first to find angle C:
sin(C) = c/b·sin(B)
C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(7/8·sin(170°)) ≈ 8.7394°
∠C ≈ 8.74°
<h3>Remaining measures</h3>Now that we know two angles, we can find the third:
A = 180° -B -C = 180° -170° -8.74° = 1.26°
∠A = 1.26°
Using the law of sines again, we can find the measure of side 'a'.
a = b·sin(A)/sin(B) = 8·sin(1.26°)/sin(170°) ≈ 1.01346
The measure of segment 'a' is about 1.01 units.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If 'a', 'b', and angle A are given, there will be zero triangles if b/a·sin(A) > 1. If b/a·sin(A) < 1 and b > a, there will be two (2) triangles. Otherwise, as here, there will be one unique triangle.

The distance formula is:
We are given two points in the form (x,y), so plug in the values to the distance formula:
Next we can simplify. We know that 12-12 is 0, so we can drop it from the equation, as it will not affect our answer. Also, we know that -10-15 is -25:
The square and square root cancel each other out leaving us with 25.
The answer is 25.

Answer:
(a) Number of sets B given that
- A⊆B⊆C: 2¹⁰. (That is: A is a subset of B, B is a subset of C. B might be equal to C)
- A⊂B⊂C: 2¹⁰ - 2. (That is: A is a proper subset of B, B is a proper subset of C. B≠C)
(b) Number of sets B given that set A and set B are disjoint, and that set B is a subset of set X: 2²⁰ - 2¹⁰.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>(a)</h3>Let denote the 20 elements of set X.
Let denote elements of set X that are also part of set A.
For set A to be a subset of set B, each element in set A must also be present in set B. In other words, set B should also contain .
For set B to be a subset of set C, all elements of set B also need to be in set C. In other words, all the elements of set B should come from .
.
For each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus possibilities for set B.
In case the question connected set A and B, and set B and C using the symbol ⊂ (proper subset of) instead of ⊆, A ≠ B and B ≠ C. Two possibilities will need to be eliminated: B contains all ten "maybe" elements or B contains none of the ten "maybe" elements. That leaves possibilities.
Set A and set B are disjoint if none of the elements in set A are also in set B, and none of the elements in set B are in set A.
Start by considering the case when set A and set B are indeed disjoint.
.
Set B might be an empty set. Once again, for each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus possibilities for a set B that is disjoint with set A.
There are 20 elements in X so that's possibilities for B ⊆ X if there's no restriction on B. However, since B cannot be disjoint with set A, there's only
possibilities left.
