Answer:

In bold below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The largest angle is opposite the largest side.

So by the Cosine Rule:

8^2 = 4^2 + 6^2 - 2*4*6 cos x

cos x = (8^2 - 4^2 - 6^2) / (-2*4* 6)

= -0.25.

x = 104.48 degrees.

(b) Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 4 * 6 sin 104.48

= 11.62

= 3 √15.

Area = 1/2 * altitude * base

3√15 = 1/2 * 8 * a

a = 3√15 / 4 cm

= 0.75√15 cm.

What is a fraction five sentences or more

sukhopar [10]

A fraction is a way of showing a division by showing the number you are dividing and the number you are dividing by. The number you are dividing is called the numerator. It goes above a horizontal line. The number you are dividing by is the denominator and it goes below the horizontal line. When typing, a slash takes the place of the horizontal line.

Solve 3x+2y=4 4x+3y=7 algebraically

Leona [35]

Step 1. Multiply first equation with -3 and the second one with 2. You'll get:
$\left \{ {{-9x-6y=-12} \atop {8x+6y=14}} \right.$

Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:
$-x=2$ , which gives x = -2

Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.
$3(-2)+2y=4\\
y=\frac{4+6}{2}=5$

The solution is: x=-2, y=5
