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°

HELP ASAP PLZ PLZ PLZ I GIVE BRAINLIEST
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the base TA is 4, and the second base RS is 2. We can see that the height is 4. The area of a trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h(b_1+b_2)}{2}

Using this, we can substitute, and get:

A=\frac{4\cdot(2+4)}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12

Hope it helps!!
