Answer:
B) a = 6.7, B = 36°, C = 49°
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the numbers in the Law of Cosines formula to find the value of "a".
a² = b² + c² -2bc·cos(A)
a² = 4² +5² -2(4)(5)cos(95°) ≈ 44.4862
a ≈ √44.4862 ≈ 6.66980
Now, the law of sines is used to find one of the remaining angles. The larger angle will be found from ...
sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a
sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)
C = arcsin(5/6.6698×sin(95°)) ≈ 48.31°
The third angle is ...
B = 180° -A -C = 180° -95° -48.31° = 36.69°
The closest match to a = 6.7, B = 37°, C = 48° is answer choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the new pizza must meet the conditions:
- Be an irregular polygon (different sides and/or angles).
- Have at least five sides.
- Have the approximately the same area as a 14" diameter circle.
- Fit in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square.
- Be divisible into 8-12 equal pieces.
For simplicity, I will choose a polygon with 5 sides (a pentagon), and I will use 2 right angles (a "house" shape).
Split the pentagon into a rectangle on bottom and triangle on top. If we cut the rectangle into 8 pieces like a regular pizza, and the triangle in half, we get 10 triangles.
Now we just need to figure out the dimensions. The area of a 14" circular pizza is:
A = πr²
A = π (7 in)²
A ≈ 154 in²
That means the area of each triangle slice needs to be 15.4 in². If we make the total width of the pentagon 14", then the width of each triangle is 7", and the height of each triangle is:
A = ½ bh
15.4 in² = ½ (7 in) h
h = 4.4 in
Which makes the total height of the pentagon 3h = 13.2 in.
So, our 13.2" × 14" pentagon has at least 5 sides, is irregular, has the same area as a 14" diameter circle, fits in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square, and can be divided into 8-12 equal pieces.
Of course, there are many possible solutions. This is just one way.
