Answer:

P = 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

PQ = 17

QR = 15

PR = 14

Using the cosine formula since the length of the three sides are given:

a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)

To find P:

QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 – 2(PQ)(PR)cos(P)

15^2 = 17^2 + 14^2 – 2(17)(14)cos(P)

225 = 289 + 196 - 476 cosP

476*CosP = 485 - 225

476*CosP = 260

CosP = 260/476

CosP = 0.5462184

P = Cos^-1(0.5462184)

P = 56.892029

P = 57°

BRAINIEST ANSWER!!!! one number is three times larger than another number. The sum of two numbers is 48. Find the two numbers. S
Rus_ich [418]
Let
x-------> larger number
y------> smaller number

we know that
x=3y-------> equation 1
x+y=48----> equation 2
substitute 1 in 2

[3y]+y=48------> 4y=48-----> y=48/4-----> y=12
x=3y----> x=3*12-----> x=36

the answer is
the two numbers are 36 and 12
