Answer:

170°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago = 1744 miles, b be the distance from Chicago to New York = 714 miles and c be the distance from New York to Los Angeles = 2451 miles.

A is the angle opposite to side a, B is the angle opposite to side b and C is the angle opposite to side c.

Therefore the angle at Chicago is  C.

From cosine rule:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab × cos (C)

2ab × cos (C) = a² + b² - c²

cos (C) = (a² + b² - c²) / 2ab

Substituting:

cos (C) = (1744² + 714² - 2451²) / 2×1744×741

cos (C) = -0.986

C = cos⁻¹ (- 0.986) = 170°

Solve for the values of x and y in each item to make the given quadrillater a parallelogram​
maria [59]

Answer:

For given parallelogram, the value of x = 114° and y = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

(Refer figure)

Given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

m∠A = 66°

m∠B = x°

m∠C = y°

m∠D = 114°

Since by properties of parallelogram, the both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel.

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent ...........................(1)

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary ................(2)

Using (1) for given parallelogram ABCD; we get,

m∠B = m∠D

m∠A = m∠C

Therefore x = 114° and y = 66°.

Using (2) to check whether the two consecutive angles are supplementary.

( m∠A + m∠D ) =  ( m∠B + m∠C ) = ( m∠C + m∠D ) = 66° + 114° = 180°

Hope it helps!!
