The missing reason is the following:
8. Substitute x=\cos A is the equation of statement 5:
a^2=b^2-2bcx+c^2

Solution: The missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

Explanation:

The given steps are used to prove the formula for law of cosines.

From step 5 it is noticed that our equation is

a^2=b^2-2bx+c^2      ..... (1)

From step 7 it is noticed that the value of x is c\cos (A).

So by substituting c\cos (A) for x in equation (1) we get the equation of step 8, i.e.,

a^2=b^2-2bc\cos (A)+c^2

Hence, the missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The enlargement will be 30 ft by 7.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a larger or smaller version of an object. To find the dimensions of the new drawing, multiply each measurement by the scale factor. The scale factor here is 5/2 or 2.5.

12(2.5)=30 ft

3(2.5)=7.5 ft
