Answer:
C° = 71.6056
Step-by-step explanation:
Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC°
Step 1: Plug in known variables
29² = 30² + 15² - 2(30)(15)cosC°
Step 2: Evaluate
841 = 900 + 225 - 900cosC°
-59 = 225 - 900cosC°
-284 = -900cosC°
71/225 = cosC°
cos⁻¹(71/225) = C°
C° = 71.6056
And we have our answer!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
The complete exercise is: "Line segment YV of rectangle YVWX measures 24 units. What is the length of line segment YX?"</h3><h3>
The missing figure is attached.</h3>
Since the figure is a rectangle, you know that:
Notice that the segment YV divides the rectangle into two equal Right triangles.
Knowing the above, you can use the following Trigonometric Identity:
You can identify that:
Therefore, in order to find the length of the segment YX, you must substitute values into and then you must solve for YX.
You get that this is:
3x + 1 = y
2x + 3y = 14
To solve this system of equations, we are going to use the substitution method. Substitution the equation where the variable is isolated into the second equation. In this system of equations, y is isolated, so we will replace y in the second equation with 3x + 1.
2x + 3y = 14
2x + 3(3x + 1) = 14
2x + 9x + 3 = 14
We will add the like terms and subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
11x + 3 = 14
11x = 11
x = 1
In this system of equations, x is equal to 1. Now we will go back and solve for y, plugging in 1 for x.
3(1) + 1 = y
2(1) + 3y = 14
3 + 1 = y
2 + 3y = 14
4 = y
3y = 2
4 = y
4 = y
The solution to this system of equations is (1, 4).
Y equals negative one over three. absolute value of x plus 4. minus 2
