Answer: scalene and obtuse

Justification:

You can find the angles using the law of cosine:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos(γ)

=> cos(γ) = [a^2 + b^2 - c^2] / (2ab)

1) cos(γ) = [10^2 + 11^2 - 15^2] / (2*10*11) = - 0.0181818

=> γ = arccos(-0.0181818} ≈ 91°

2) cos(α) = [b^2 + c^2 - a^2 ] / 2bc = [11^2 + 15^2 - 10^2] / (2*11*15] = 0.7454545

=> α = arccos(0.7454545) ≈ 41.8°

3) cos(β) = [a^2 + c^2 - b^2] / (2ac) = [10^2 + 15^2 - 11^2] /(2*10*15) = 0.68

=> β = arccos(0.68) ≈ 47.2°

4) Verification: 91° + 41.8° + 47.2° = 180°

5) The triangles with the three different sides are called scalenes (which you can tell with only the measures of the sides).

6) The triangles with one angle greater than 90° are called obtuse.

So, the triangle is scalene and obtuse.

Joe buys groceries for his grandfather the groceries cost $42 plus 5% tax joe wants to know the total cost of the groceries incl
vekshin1
<h3>Answer: $44.10</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

5% = 5/100 = 0.05

5% of 42 = 0.05*42 = 2.10

tax = $2.10

total cost including tax = $42 + $2.10 = $44.10

----------

An alternative is to multiply 42 by 1.05 to get

1.05*42 = 44.10

We get the same answer. The 1.05 refers to 1 + 0.05 where the "1" is 100% and the 0.05 is 5%, so the two combine to 105%, meaning the total cost is 105% of the cost before tax is considered.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The number of packs are peanuts butter are 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Kylee bought a pack of 12 cookies.

one-third if the cookies are peanut butter.

Thus

Number\ of\ packs\ of\ peanuts\ butter = \frac{1}{3}\times Total\ number\ of\ packs

Number\ of\ packs\ of\ peanuts\ butter = \frac{1}{3}\time 12

Number\ of\ packs\ of\ peanuts\ butter = \frac{12}{3}

Number of packs are peanut butter = 4

Therefore the number of packs are peanuts butter are 4 .
