5. Use the law of Cosines to find each missing sides. Round to the nearest tenth
1 answer:
The measure of angle x will be 88 degrees. Then the correct option is C.
The complete question is attached below.
<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:
2ab cos θ = a² + b² – c²
The triangle is shown below.
Then the value of the variable x will be
2 · 7 · 10 · cos x = 7² + 10² – 12²
140 · cos x = 49 + 100 – 144
cos x = (149 – 144) / 140
x = 87.95 ≈ 88°
Then the correct option is C.

Answer: Original price = $43.10, Increase = $19.40, Final price = $62.50
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the original price, then
8x(1.45) < $500
x < $43.10
Increase is 0.45x
0.45($43.10)
= $19.40
Final price is Original + Increase
$43.10 + $19.40
= $62.50
