orm two triangles

Because ∠A=40°, therefore ∠B + ∠C = 180.

To create two triangles, we could make a = 10 in.

From the Law of Sines,
a/sinA = b/sinB.
 
Therefore
10/sin(40) = 15/sin(B)
sin(B) = (15/10)*sin(40) = 0.9642
∠B = arcsin(0.9642) = 74.6°

Because the sine function is positive in quadrants 1 and 2, we could also have ∠B = 180 - 74.6 = 105.4°.
This means that
a/sin(105.4) = 15/sin(40°)
a = [sin(105.4)/sin(40)]*15 = 22.5 in

Answer:
We could have a = 10 in, or a = 22.5 in

Let g(x)=Intragal from 0 to x f(t) dt, where r is the function whos graph is shown.
leonid [27]

If

\displaystyle g(x) = \int_0^x f(t) \, dt

then g(x) gives the signed area under f(x) over a given interval starting at 0.

In particular,

\displaystyle g(0) = \int_0^0 f(t) \, dt = 0

since the integral of any function over a single point is zero;

\displaystyle g(4) = \int_0^4 f(t) \, dt = 8

since the area under f(x) over the interval [0, 4] is a right triangle with length and height 4, hence area 1/2 • 4 • 4 = 8;

\displaystyle g(8) = \int_0^8 f(t) \, dt = 0

since the area over [4, 8] is the same as the area over [0, 4], but on the opposite side of the t-axis;

\displaystyle g(12) = \int_0^{12} f(t) \, dt = -8

since the area over [8, 12] is the same as over [4, 8], but doesn't get canceled;

\displaystyle g(16) = \int_0^{16} f(t) \, dt = 0

since the area over [12, 16] is the same as over [0, 4], and all together these four triangle areas cancel to zero;

\displaystyle g(20) = \int_0^{20} f(t) \, dt = 24

since the area over [16, 20] is a trapezoid with "bases" 4 and 8, and "height" 4, hence area (4 + 8)/2 • 4 = 24;

\displaystyle g(24) = \int_0^{24} f(t) \, dt = 64

since the area over [20, 24] is yet another trapezoid, but with bases 8 and 12, and height 4, hence area (8 + 12)/2 • 4 = 40, which we add to the previous area.
