Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

when we have all the sides and need an angle, we use the law of cosine (the extended Pythagoras) :

c² = a² + b² - 2ab×cos(C)

where c is the side opposite of the angle C.

so, since the starting leg is 2.3 km, and the finishing leg is 6.2 km, we know that 5.9 km is the side opposite of the angle between the starting and finishing legs.

so, we have

5.9² = 2.3² + 6.2² - 2×2.3×6.2×cos(C)

34.81 = 5.29 + 38.44 - 28.52×cos(C)

-8.92 = -28.52×cos(C)

cos(C) = -8.92/-28.52 = 0.312762973...

C = 71.77418076...° ≈ 72°

Answer:

About 71.77 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting leg is 2.3 km and the finishing leg is 6.2 km.

Using the law of cosines C^2 = A^2 + B^2 -2AB*cos(c) where A = 2.3 km, B = 6.2 km, C = 5.9 km, and angle c is the opposite angle to side C, we get:

5.9^2 = 2.3^2 + 6.2^2 -2(2.3)(6.2)*cos(c)

cos(c) = -(5.9^2 - 2.3^2 - 6.2^2)/(2*2.3*6.2)

c = 71.77 degrees

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles SRT and STR are congruent, so they have the same measure.

The measure of <SRT is 20, so the measure of <STR is also 20.

Angles STR and STU form a linear pair. Two angles that form a linear pair are supplementary, so their measures add up to 180.

m<STR + m<STU = 180

20 + 4x = 180

4x = 160

x = 40

Write a paragraph (4-5 sentences) explaining how we can help or change racism to black people
Nuetrik [128]

Answer

A few ways we could stop racism against black people in this country is to stop the perpepuation of black stereotypes in media. Such as the loud, aggressive black man, or the rude, catty black woman. It causes a harmful view on black people and can result in racial profiling. Another way to combat this racism is to fight off systemic racism. Black people who have unique names, usually African names, are more likely to get turned down for a job when they turn in their resume to an establishment. This is because they automatically assume that they'll be trouble, and won't be a good worker.
