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°

Oxana [17]
12h + 30w.....where h = hrs worked and w = wagons sold

so if an employee works 6 hrs and sells 3 wagons....then h = 6 and w = 3

12h + 30w
12(6) + 30(3) =
72 + 90 = $ 162 <==
