Answer:

The Law of Sines applies to any triangle and works as follows:

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

We are attempting to solve for every angle and every side of the triangle. With the given information, A = 61°, a = 17, b = 19, we can solve for the unknown angle that is B.

a/sinA = b/sinB

17/sin61 = 19/sinB

sinB = (19/17)(sin61)

sinB = 0.9774

sin-1(sinB) = sin-1(0.9774)

B = 77.8°

With angle B we can solve for angle C and then side c.

A + B + C = 180°

C = 180° - A - B

C = 180° - 61° - 77.8°

C = 41.2°

a/sinA = c/sinC

17/sin61 = c/sin41.2

c = 17(sin41.2/sin61)

c = 12.8

The first solved triangle is:

A = 61°, a = 17, B = 77.8°, b = 19, C = 41.2°, c = 12.8

However, when we solved for angle B initially, that was not the only possible answer because of the fact that sinB = sin(180-B).

The other angle is simply 180°-77.8° = 102.2°. Therefore, angle B can also be 102.2° which will give us different values for c and C.

C = 180° - A - B

C = 180° - 61° - 102.2°

C = 16.8°

a/sinA = c/sinC

17/sin61 = c/sin16.8

c = 17(sin16.8/sin61)

c = 5.6

The complete second triangle has the following dimensions:

A = 61°, a = 17, B = 102.2°, b = 19, C = 16.8°, c = 5.6

The answer you are looking for is the first option given in the question:

B = 77.8°, C = 41.2°, c = 12.8; B = 102.2°, C = 16.8°, c = 5.6

What is the length of segment CD question mark
blagie [28]

Answer:

CD = two square root of 10 end square root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a segment, use the distance formula. Substitute the order pairs for the endpoints of the segment. CD has the end points (-7, -4) and (-1, -2).

d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(-4--2)^2 + (-7--1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{-2^2 + -6^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 36}\\\\d=\sqrt {40} = 2\sqrt{10}

Find the times (to the nearest hundredth of a second) that the weight is halfway to its maximum negative position over the inter
hoa [83]

Answer:

0.20 and 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

y(t) = 2 sin (4π t) + 5 cos (4π t)

We wish to convert this to:

y = A sin(ωt + φ)

We know that ω = 4π.  We also know the following:

5 = A sin φ

2 = A cos φ

Divide the first equation by the second equation:

5/2 = tan φ

φ = tan⁻¹(5/2)

Now, square the two equations and add them together.

5² + 2² = (A sin φ)² + (A cos φ)²

29 = A²

A = √29

The equation of the wave is therefore:

y = √29 sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

The maximum negative position is -√29.  And half of that is -½√29.

-½√29 = √29 sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

-½ = sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

7π/6 + 2kπ or 11π/6 + 2kπ = 4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2)

7 + 12k or 11 + 12k = 24t + 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π

t = (7 + 12k − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24 or (11 + 12k − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24

Trying different integer values of k, we find there are two possible values for t between 0 and 0.5, both when k = 0.

t = (7 − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24 or (11 − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24

t ≈ 0.20 or 0.36

Each of the four sides of a swimming pool measures 9 meters. The pool is 5 meters deep. How much water will be needed to fill it
iragen [17]

The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to length times width times height. Since length and width are equal, the formula includes the squaring of the length. after substitution, the formula is 9^2 * 5 equal to 405 m^3. 

So the answer is D. 405 cubic meters
