Answer: 104

Step-by-step explanation: divide `156 by 3 and then multiply it by 2. this works because 156/3= 1 third of 156= 52, now make that two thirds, 52x2=104. have an awesome day.

Answer:

8.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the only information for our triangle are 2 sides and 1 angle, we must use the Law of Cosines to find side BC

Recall the Law of Cosines

$a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cdot cos(A)$

Identify angles and sides

$m\angle A=23^\circ\\a=BC=?\\b=AC=14\\c=AB=6$

Solve for side "a"

$a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cdot cos(A)\\\\a^2=14^2+6^2-2(14)(6)\cdot cos(23^\circ)\\\\a^2=196+36-168cos(23^\circ)\\\\a^2=222-168cos(23^\circ)\\\\a=\sqrt{222-168cos(23^\circ)}\\ \\a\approx8.2$

Therefore, the length of line segment BC is about 8.2 units

1. You are standing on top of a ridge using a clinometer trying to figure out how far your dog has wandered off in

olga_2 [115]

Given:

It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.

Assumptions:

Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is $360+67 = 427$ inches.

The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.

Assume the angle A is 60°.

To find the distance from you to your dog.

Solution:

A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.

$cos \theta = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} .$
