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

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Kerosene weighs 0.82 g

netineya [11]

Answer:

The specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of Kerosene

y ----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of water

z ---> the specific gravity of a substance

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=0.82\ g\\y=1\ g$

substitute the values

$z=\frac{0.82}{1}=0.82$
