You can use the Law of Sines for this problem, but what makes it tough at first glance is that they put a step in before you can use it directly. That first step is to get m∠C. When solving a triangle, always get the third angle if you know the other two so that you can use the Law of Sines (or Law of Cosines) more directly.


The sum of the angles of any triangles is 180°. We know the measures of the two other angles. So we subtract them from 180° to find that third angle.


180° - 76° - 66° = 38°


Now we can use the proportion from the picture. Angle B measures 76°, side b is our unknown, Angle C measures 38°, and side c measures 3 units.


sin 76° sin 38°

----------- = -----------

b 3


Cross multiply to find b (the side). We carry out five places in these calculations to get more accuracy.


3 * sin 76° = b * sin 38°


b = 3 * sin 76° 3 * 0.56611 1.69832

--------------- = --------------- = ---------------- = 5.73044

sin 38° 0.29636 0.29636


To the nearest tenth, b - 5.7 units.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (-4,0)
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The slope = (1 - 0)/(-3-(-4)) =1
  2. 1 = -3 + x, x =4

You are playing a game of Scrabble and have the 5 A tiles, 3 E tiles, 1 Z tile, 2 M tiles, 3 L tiles, and 1 Y tile to choose fro
kaheart [24]
So, what we need to do is find out the chance you will pull an M or an L out of the scrabble bag on your next turn.

Our first step is finding out how many pieces total are in the bag. This will become the denominator in our answer. To do this, we just need to add up all the pieces we know are in the bag! From the question, we know there are <span>5 As, 3 Es, 1 Z, 2 Ms, 3 Ls, and 1 <span>Y left in the bag. So 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 +1 should give us 15 total pieces to pick from.

Next, we need to know the total of Ls and Ms left in the bag that we want to pick. This number will be the numerator in our answer. From the question, we know there are 2 Ms and 3 Ls in the bag. Because 2+3 = 5, that means out final fraction for this problem should be 5/15!

Unfortunately, that is not an actual answer for the question, so that means we have to simplify by finding the biggest number that goes into both the top and bottom of our fraction. To get 5, we can only use the numbers 1 and 5. To get 15, we can use 1, 3, 5, and 15. From this, it looks like both the top and the bottom are divisible by 5. When we divide the top by 5 we end up with a 1, and when we divide the bottom by 5 we end up with a 3, meaning our final fraction is D) 1/3!</span></span>

Solve for Y:<br> 2/3 (y+57 )= 178
sattari [20]
Y= 210  you have to distribute 2/3 to y then to 57 and your equation would be 2/3y + 38= 178 then you take 38 and subtract 178 - 38 and you get 140 then you divide 140/ (2/3) and you will get 210 as your answer.(:
