You can use the Law of Cosines, if only one of which is missing: three sides and one angle. Hence, if the known properties of the triangle is SSS(side-side-side) or SAS (side-angle-side), this law is applicable.

You can use the Law of Sines if you want to equate the ratio of the sine of an angle and its opposite side. This can be used if the known properties of the triangle is ASA(angle-side-angle) or SAS.

The ambiguous case is the SAS triangle. This could be easily solved using Law of Sines than Law of Cosines. Take for example: side a = 4, side b = 10, angle A = 23°. Then, we can determine angle B through Sine Law.

sin 23°/4 = sin B/10
B = 77.64°

What is the value of x, the side length of the smallest square (please show work) Thanks!
Ratling [72]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok lets on the biggest square we have 17 cm

17cm is the hypotenuse for the right triangle

The second largest's area is 225 cm^2

Sq root of 225 cm^2, is 15

To find x, lets plug the info we have to the pythagorean theorom

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\\a^2 + 225 = 289\\\\289 - 225 = a^2\\64=a^2\\a = 8 cm

The side length of the smallest Square is 8 cm

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

If you like my answer and explanation, mark me as brainliest!
