he rebates?

Let's say the original price was "x", so that'd be the 100%, but he got a rebate of 5% off the regular price, and it ended up at 11566, so, 11566 is 100% - 5% or 95%.

now, if we know that 11566 is the 95% from the original price, what is "x"?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
a&b\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
11566&95
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{11566}=\cfrac{100}{95}\implies x=\cfrac{11566\cdot 100}{95}$

Answer:

$A = 74.7^\circ$

$B = 42.5^\circ$

$C = 62.8^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-1,2) \to (x_1,y_1)$

$B = (2,8) \to (x_2,y_2)$

$C = (4,1) \to (x_3,y_3)$

Required

The measure of each angle

First, we calculate the length of the three sides of the triangle.

This is calculated using distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2$

For AB

$A = (-1,2) \to (x_1,y_1)$

$B = (2,8) \to (x_2,y_2)$

$d = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (2 - 8)^2$

$d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-6)^2$

$d = \sqrt{45$

So:

$AB = \sqrt{45$

For BC

$B = (2,8) \to (x_2,y_2)$

$C = (4,1) \to (x_3,y_3)$

$BC = \sqrt{(2 - 4)^2 + (8 - 1)^2$

$BC = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (7)^2$

$BC = \sqrt{53$

For AC

$A = (-1,2) \to (x_1,y_1)$

$C = (4,1) \to (x_3,y_3)$

$AC = \sqrt{(-1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 1)^2$

$AC = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (1)^2$

$AC = \sqrt{26$

So, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{45$

$BC = \sqrt{53$

$AC = \sqrt{26$

By representation

$AB \to c$

$BC \to a$

$AC \to b$

So, we have:

$a = \sqrt{53$

$b = \sqrt{26$

$c = \sqrt{45$

By cosine laws, the angles are calculated using:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bc \cos A$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac \cos B$

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab\ cos C$

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bc \cos A$

$(\sqrt{53})^2 = (\sqrt{26})^2 +(\sqrt{45})^2 - 2 * (\sqrt{26}) +(\sqrt{45}) * \cos A$

$53 = 26 +45 - 2 * 34.21 * \cos A$

$53 = 26 +45 - 68.42 * \cos A$

Collect like terms

$53 - 26 -45 = - 68.42 * \cos A$

$-18 = - 68.42 * \cos A$

Solve for $\cos A$

$\cos A =\frac{-18}{-68.42}$

$\cos A =0.2631$

Take arc cos of both sides

$A =\cos^{-1}(0.2631)$

$A = 74.7^\circ$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac \cos B$

$(\sqrt{26})^2 = (\sqrt{53})^2 +(\sqrt{45})^2 - 2 * (\sqrt{53}) +(\sqrt{45}) * \cos B$

$26 = 53 +45 -97.67 * \cos B$

Collect like terms

$26 - 53 -45= -97.67 * \cos B$

$-72= -97.67 * \cos B$

Solve for $\cos B$

$\cos B = \frac{-72}{-97.67}$

$\cos B = 0.7372$

Take arc cos of both sides

$B = \cos^{-1}(0.7372)$

$B = 42.5^\circ$

For the third angle, we use:

$A + B + C = 180$ --- angles in a triangle

Make C the subject

$C = 180 - A -B$

$C = 180 - 74.7 -42.5$

$C = 62.8^\circ$
