Oh I'm taking geometry right now. 
So there is a formula that helps you find the Law of Cosines.
SOH-CAH-TOA: Sine Opposite Hypotenuse; Cosine Adjacent Hypotenuse; Tangent Opposite Adjacent.
Right now we are trying to find the measure of angle A.
We will use Cosine and divide the adjacent over the hypotenuse.
So 18/20=0.9
In a table of cosines, you find the degree of the angle by using the decimal you got from dividing the adjacent over the hypotenuse. The closest to 0.9 is 26 degrees so the answer to the measure of angle A is 26 degrees.

Answer:

(1) Option A is correct , The measure of angle A = 26°

(2) Option D is correct, The measure of angle B  =70°

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

In a right angle triangle figure-1 ,

* Hypotenuse(H) is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle.

* Adjacent side (B) is the non-hypotenuse side that is next to a given angle A.

* Opposite side(P) is across from a given angle A.

To find the Angle A we use the Cosine ratio:

Cosine ratio states that the ratio of the adjacent side of a right triangle to the hypotenuse.

By definition of cosine ratio we have;

\cos A = \frac{B}{H}                      ....[1]

In the figure - 1 we have B = 18 in and H = 20 in

substitute these in [1] to find angle A

\cos A =\frac{18}{20} =\frac{9}{10} = 0.9

or

A = cos^{-1} (0.9)

⇒ A \approx 26^{\circ}

therefore, the measure of angle A is,  26^{\circ}

(2)P

In figure -2

Find the measure of angle B.

First find the side BC, using Pythagoras theorem;

Pythagoras theorem states that in the right angle triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Apply Pythagoras theorem in rt. angle ABC;

AB^2 = AC^2+BC^2

Substitute the values of AB = 5.1 cm and AC =4.8 cm to solve for BC

(5.1)^2=(4.8)^2 +BC^2

26.01 = 23.04+BC^2

Simplify:

BC^2 = 2.97 or

BC = \sqrt{2.97} =1.723 cm

Now, find the angle B, using tangent ratio;

Tangent ratio states that the ratio of the Opposite side of a right triangle to the adjacent side.

\tan B = \frac{AC}{BC} =\frac{4.8}{1.732} =2.772

B = \tan^{-1} (2.772) \approx 70^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of angle B is; 70^{\circ}.

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See attached. (Both inequalities graph to the same region.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an inequality, you first replace the inequality symbol by an equal sign. Then you graph the line (or curve) described by the equation. If the inequality symbol includes the "or equal to" case, then the line (or curve) is solid and is part of the solution set. If not, then the line (or curve) is dashed and is <em>not part of the solution set</em>.

Here, the line x+y=5, will bound the solution set, but is not part of it.

Note that the line -x -y = -5 (from the second inequality) is the same ilne.

_____

After you have graphed the boundary of the solution region, you need to determine which side of the boundary has the solutions. I find it easy to do this by locating an x- or y-term with a positive coefficient and seeing which side of the inequality symbol that lies on. Here, both the x-term and the y-term lie on the "is greater than" side of the symbol, so the half-plane is shaded above and to the right of the line, where x- and y-values are greater than they are on the line.

In the second inequality, you can multiply the whole thing by -1 to get

... x + y > 5 . . . . same as the first inequality

or you can add (x+y) to both sides to get

... 0 < -5 +x +y

Once again, the x- and y-values that satisfy this are greater than those that are on the boundary line.

_____

The graph seems to show only one equation. Both are there, but the dashed blue line sits on top of the dashed red line, so you can't see it. The purple shading indicates both red and blue shading in the same area.

===== =====

Of course you graph the boundary line the way you would any linear equation. In this form, it is not too difficult to see that both the x- and y-intercepts are 5. (When x=0, y=5; and when y=0, x=5 for the boundary line's equation x+y=5.) Draw the dotted line through these intercept points, add shading above, and you have your graph.
