Explain why using the law of sines when given SSA information can result in one, two, or no triangles.

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever SSA information is given, we have

a/sinA = b/sin B = c/sin C

When we know a and sin A, and b we can solve for sin B.

When sin B is known, we can have B take two values one in the I quadrant less than 90 and one in the ii quadrant more than 90.

Sometimes both angles have to be taken as solutions for two triangles.

In these cases, we can get two triangles as solution for the given information.

For example, if A =20 degrees and if we get sinB=1/2 then we can have B as either 30 or 150 since both consistent when added with 20 gives less than 180

In these cases we get two triangles as solution.

If A = 40 say then we can have B only taking 30.

In this case one solution.

No triangle is possible only when sum of two sides exceed third side in other words the given information do not form a triangle.

Due to the ambiguous case of the law of sines, two different triangles could be created. There may be a second angle if you are given two sides and the angle not in between. The ambiguous case may result in one solution, two solutions or no solutions therefore there can be one, two or no triangles.

What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.

From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram ,  but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= (\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})

Mid point of BD= (\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})

Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

mike drove to a frineds house at the rage of 40 mph. he returned hoke by the dsne route at 45 mph the driving time for the round
Lera25 [3.4K]

Let the distance be x miles

Time = Distance / speed

Time taken by Mike to go to his friend's house = x / 40 hours

Time taken by him to return = x / 45 hours

Total time = x / 40 + x / 45 = 4 hours

= 9x + 8x = 1440 miles

17x = 1440

= x = 1440 ÷ 7

= x = 84.706

Time taken to return home = 84.706 /45= 1.882 hours .

Therefore , Mike took 1.882 hours to reach home .

Setting 7/3 equal to which ratio would result in a valid proportion? 9/49 18/42 42/18 49/9<br>​
Vinvika [58]
49/9 because if you simplify it, it would be 7/3 which is equal to the original ratio.
