What is the approximate angle measure for angle W in the triangle below?

In this case we know the three sides of the triangle, then this is a SSS triangle (Side Side Side). To solve this case, first we must use the Law of Cosines, applied to the opposite side to the angle we want to find.
We want to find angle W, and its opposite side is XV, then we apply the Law of Cosines to the side XV:
XV^2=XW^2+WV^2-2(XW)(WV)cos W
Replacing the known values:
116^2=96^2+89^2-2(96)(89)cos W
Solving for W
13,456=9,216+7,921-17,088 cos W
13,456=17,137-17,088 cos W
13,456-17,137=17,137-17,088 cos W-17,137
-3,681=-17,088 cos W
(-3,681)/(-17,088)=(-17,088 cos W)/(-17,088)
0.215414326=cos W
cos W = 0.215414326

Solving for W:
W= cos^(-1) 0.215414326
Using the calculator:
W=77.56016397°
Rounded to one decimal place:
W=77.6°

Answer: Third option 77.6°

Elsie and her friends plan to drive 1048 miles during their road trip. How many gallons of gas will they need for this trip?
ElenaW [278]
That would depend on the car and the amount of miles the car can go on one tank of gas. Divide that amount from 1048 to get the answer.

Y(a -b) =c(y+ a); y
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

y = ac / (a - b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

y(a - b) = c(y + a)

Distribute

ay - by = cy + ac

Subtract cy from both sides

ay - by - cy = ac

Factor out y

y(a - b - c) = ac

Divide both sides by (a - b - c)

y = ac / (a - b - c)

The two-way table shows the number of books of each type in Eliza's home ​what is the probability that a randomly selected refer
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

B. 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of the probability

Pr=\dfrac{\text{Number of all favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}

You have to find the probability that a randomly selected reference book is hard cover. Hence, from the table

  • Number of all possible outcomes = Number of Reference books = 25
  • Number of all favorable outcomes = Number of Hardcover Reference books = 10

So, the probability is

Pr=\dfrac{10}{25}=\dfrac{40}{100}=0.4
