The Law of Cosines features the 3 side lengths of a triangle, plus the measure of the angle opposite one of those sides.
We want angle x, which is opposite the side of length 39.
Then: a^2 = b^2 - 2ab cos C becomes 39^2 = 36^2 + 59^2 - 2(36)(59)cos x
or 1521 = 3481 + 1296 - 2(36)(59) cos x
Subtract (3481+1296) from both sides: 1521 - 4777 = -4248cos x
-3256 = -4248cos x
-3256
Then: cosx = --------------- = 0.766
-4248
Solving for x: x = arccos -0.766 = 0.698 radian, or 40 degrees (answer)
Answer:
18.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.
-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.
-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:
C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2
C^2 = 289 + 49
C^2 = 338
C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!
Answer:
15 feet, 7.5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 6.5 + 2.5 + 6
= 15 feet
Area = ½ × 2.5 × 6
= 7.5 feet²
