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°

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24mm. The length is 4mm less than triple the width. What are the dimensions of the rectangle
Bess [88]
<h3><u>The length is equal to 8.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 4.</u></h3>

2l + 2w = 24

l = 3w - 4

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the first equation to solve for the exact value of w.

2(3w - 4) + 2w = 24

Distributive property.

6w - 8 + 2w = 24

Combine like terms.

8w - 8 = 24

Add 8 to both sides.

8w = 32

Divide both sides by 8.

w = 4

Now that we have a value for w, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for the exact value of l.

l = 3(4) - 4

l = 12 - 4

l = 8

The sum of the first 6 terms of a geometric sequence is 7, 812. the common ratio is 5. what is the second term of the sequence?
Snezhnost [94]
OH right! I should have realised that!

S6 =  7,812 = a1 * (5^6 - 1)
                               -----------  were  a1 = first term
                                 5 -  1

3906*a1 = 7812
a1 = 7812 / 3906 =  2

Therfore the second term = 2*5  = 10 Answer

Find the length of the segment with endpoint Y(4, 3) and midpoint M(1, 7).
inessss [21]

Answer:the length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

since m is the midpoint it is 3 away from y on the x axis and 4 away on the y axis

so if you go the same distance away from the midpoint you get -2, 11

so -2 is 6 away from 4 away and 3 is 8 away from 11

6^2  = 36

8^2 = 64

36+64= 100

the square root of 100 is 10
