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

How do we identify the slope and the y-intercept for each of the function representations?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for y intercept

we calculate f(0) and the value is y intercept

for the slope we have 2 points (x1,y1)  and (x2,y2)

the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
