We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c² – 2*b*c*cos(A)
cos (A)=[b²+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

Answer:

we know that

applying the law of cosines

a² = b²+ c² – 2*b*c*cos(A)

cos (A)=[b²+c²-a²]/[2*b*c]

in this problem

a=10

b=17

c=18

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

It looks like this is a square pyramid net, and to find the surface area you need to know the base and height. By looking at the image 5 ft is the height and the base is 3 ft.

The surface area of the square pyramid is 40.32

hope this helps!

What is the approximate positive value of the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of p(x)=5x^2-3 and q(x)=2x+1

Advocard [28]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1.117

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the two equations:

p(x) = 5x² - 3

q(x) = 2x + 1

On the graph below, the positive point of intersection is at (1.117, 3.233).

Positive x-value = 1.117.

Unsure how your teacher wants the table to be filled out, but the solution is about 1.62.

$x = 1.75, f(x) =1.0625, g(x) =.75 \\ \\ 
x = 1.64, f(x) =.6896, g(x) =.64 \\ \\ 
x = 1.63, f(x) =.6569, g(x) =.63 \\ \\ 
x = 1.62, f(x) =.6244, g(x) = .62 \\ \\ 
x = 1.61, f(x) = .5921, g(x) = .61$

$\bf \cfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{n^2+3n+21}{(n+4)(n+2)}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so our LCD will just be (n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(n+2)(2n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(2n^2+4n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~2n^2-4n}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\implies 
\cfrac{-n^2-n+2}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-(n^2+n-2)}{(n+4)(n+2)}\implies \cfrac{-\underline{(n+2)}(n-1)}{(n+4)\underline{(n+2)}}\implies \cfrac{-(n-1)}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{1+n}{n+4}$

360=LW
W=5/8 L 

360=L*5/8 L=5/8 L^2 
L^2=8*360/5=8*72 
L=sqrt(4*144)=24
The length is 24
