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

Which expression is equivalent to (x Superscript 27 Baseline y) Superscript one-third?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x Superscript 9 Baseline (RootIndex 3 StartRoot y EndRoot)

OR x^9/(∛y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the indicinal equation

(x^27/y)^1/3

To find the corresponding expression, we will simplify the equation as shown:

(x^27/y)^⅓

= (x^27)^⅓/y⅓

= {x^(3×9)}^⅓/y⅓

= x^9/y⅓

= x^9/(∛y)

The right answer is x Superscript 9 Baseline (RootIndex 3 StartRoot y EndRoot)

Anyone please help me <br><br>solve for x and Y will give brainliest ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

x = - 5, y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + 9i = - 5 - yi

For the 2 sides to be equal then the coefficients of like terms must be equal.

x = - 5 and 9 = - y ⇒ y = - 9

The length of a rectangular plot is 6m less than thrice its breath. Find the dimensions of the plot if its perimeter is 148m.
Elena-2011 [213]

length of a rectangle is 6 less than 3 times its width"

L = 3W-6

"perimeter of the rectangle is 148 meters"

2L + 2W = 148

L + W = 74

(3W-6) + W = 74

4W = 80

W = 20 m

L = 3W-6 = 54 m
