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°

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<em> The distance from your eyes to the stage is 8.85 ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Your distance to the stage is 6 feet

Your eyes are 6.5 feet tall

You need to find the distance of your eyes towards the stage.

This situation can be modeled using a rectangle triangle, where the adjacent side x is the horizontal distance to the stage and the opposite side h is the vertical distance of your eyes to the stage.

<u>Observe the attached image.</u>

Then, we look for the distance z from your eyes to the stage. This distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

So, using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

z ^ 2 = h ^ 2 + x ^ 2\\\\z = \sqrt{h^2 +x^2}

Where

h = 6.5\ ft\\\\x = 6\ ft

therefore:

z = \sqrt{(6.5)^2 +(6)^2}\\\\z =8.85\ ft

Which number is not a perfect square?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If I had to make a choice it would be C. Its strange because all numbers can be divided by 4 so they all can make a square. But the closest was C.

kotykmax [81]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 7x + 2° = 90° { being complementary angles }

11x = 90° - 2°

11x = 88°

x = 88° / 11

x = 8°

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

(-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint equation: (\frac{x_2+x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2+y_1}{2})

= (\frac{-5/2+1/2}{2},\frac{-1/2-3/2}{2} )

= (\frac{-2}{2},\frac{-2}{2})

=(-1,-1)

Use the formula and plug it in :)
