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:

a = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given is an isosceles right triangle.

So, by Pythagoras theorem:

${a}^{2} + {a}^{2} = {(8 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} \\ \\ 2 {a}^{2} = 128 \\ \\ {a}^{2} = \frac{128}{2} \\ \\ {a}^{2} = 64 \\ \\ a = \sqrt{64} \\ \\ a = 8 \: m$

Answer:

- 3108

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [ 2 $a_{1}$ + (n - 1)d ]

Substitute the given values into the formula

$S_{24}$ = $\frac{24}{2}$ [ (2 × - 26) + (23 × - 9) ]

= 12 ( - 52 - 207 )

= 12 × - 259 = - 3108

There are 2 ways to turn a number into a percent...

(1) move the decimal 2 spaces to the right....0.3 = 30%
(2) multiply by 100....0.3 x 100 = 30%
