Answer:

m∠A = 45.86°

Step-by-step explanation:

A rough sketch of the triangle is shown in the attached pic.

When 3 sides are given and we want to solve for an angle, we use the Cosine Rule. Which is:

p^2=a^2 +b^2 -2abCosP

Where a, b, p are the lengths of 3 sides (with p being the side opposite of the angle we are solving for) and P is the angel we want to solve for

Thus, we have:

p^2=a^2 +b^2 -2abCosP\\13^2=14^2 +18^2-2(14)(18)CosA\\169=520-504CosA\\504CosA=351\\CosA=\frac{351}{504}\\CosA=0.6964\\A=Cos^{-1}(0.6964)=45.86

In △ABC,a=13, b=14, and c=18. Then angle, m∠A is is 46.654°

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2>
  • In a triangle ΔABC, with sides a, b, and c, and angles ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C can be solved using sine rule or cosine rule.
<h3>Sine rule </h3>
  • This rule is used when one is given two sides of the triangle and an angle, or one side and two angles are known.
  • According top sine rule;

\frac{a}{sinA}=\frac{b}{sinB} =\frac{c}{sinC}

<h3>Cosine rule </h3>
  • Cosine rule is used when all the sides of the triangle are known or when two sides of a traingle and an angle are known.
  • According to cosine rule;

a^{2} =b^{2} +c^{2} -2bcCosA or

b^{2} =a^{2} +c^{2} -2acCosB or

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2abCosC

In our case;

we are going to use Cosine rule to find m∠A

We are given;

a=13, b=14, and c=18

Therefore;

a^{2} =b^{2} +c^{2} -2bcCosA

Replacing the variables;

13^{2} =14^{2} +18^{2} -2(14)(18)CosA

Making CosA the subject;

CosA = \frac{(13^{2} -14^{2} -18^{2})}{-2(14)(18)}

Cos A = \frac{-351}{-504}

CosA = 0.6964

A = Cos^{-1} (0.6864)

A = 46.654

Therefore; In △ABC,a=13, b=14, and c=18, m∠A is 46.654°

Alona [7]
180 seconds is 3 minutes. If you divide 156 by 3, you will get 52. If you are looking for 2 minutes, you have to multiply 52 by 2. The answer is 104 revolutions in 2 minutes.
