In a triangle ABC, AB = 7, AC = 8, BC = 3, what is cos(A)?

1 answer:

6 0

Use the cosine rule.
c=AB=7
b=AC=8
a=BC=3
a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc(cos(A))
=>
cos(A)=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/(2bc)
=(7^2+8^2-3^2)/(2*7*8)
=13/14
=0.9286

Answer:

$\frac{136}{999}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the repeating decimal after the decimal point in both equations.

The bar above 136 indicates that 136 is being repeated

let x = 0.136136...... → (1) Multiply both sides by 1000

1000x = 136.136.... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate the decimal part

999x = 136 ( divide both sides by 999 )

x = $\frac{136}{999}$

Standard form is Ax + By = C, or By = C - Ax.

Dividing both sides by B, we get y = C/B - (A/B)x

Here the y intercept is C/B, and the slope is -A/B.
