We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
cos (A)=[b</span>²+c²-a²]/[2*b*c]
in this problem
a=10
b=17
c=18
so
cos (A)=[17²+18²-10²]/[2*17*18]-----> cos (A)=0.8382
A=arc cos (0.8382)-----> A=33.05°-----> A=33°

the answer is
33 degrees

What is the simplified form of 12z^2-7z-12/3z^2+2z-8? ...?

gavmur [86]

It should go like this:

(4z + 3) (3z - 4) / (3z - 4) (z + 2)

Then you just cancel out (3z -4) and (3z -4), and the final simplified form of this polynomial is:

(4z +3) / (z + 2)

a stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where s(t) = 4.9t^2 + 29.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

t = 9 s

Step-by-step explanation:

A stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where

$s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 29.4+132.3$

We need to find when the stone will hit the ground. It means when s(t) = 0. So,

$-4.9t^2 + 29.4t+132.3=0\\\\t=-3\ and\ t=9$

So, the stone will take 9 seconds to hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two numbers have an average of 18, and a difference of 10. Form two equations and solve them to find these

Troyanec [42]

Answer: x = 23 and y = 13

Explanation:

let x and y be the two number.

Where:

(x + y)/2 = 18 => x + y = 18 x 2 = 36

and:

x - y = 10

Thus we get:

x + y = 36 (1)
x - y = 10 (2)

Add (1) and (2):
x + y + x - y = 36 + 10
2x = 46
x = 23

If x = 23

then x - y = 10
23 - y = 10
-y = -13
y = 13
