A+B+C =180

7x+49+5y=180 ---> 7x+5y=131

7(15) +49+5(15)=180
180=180

(15)+7(15)+41=A
161=A

2(15)+13=B
43=B

B=C
43=C

A=161
B=43
C=43

The law of cosines is used to find the measure of Z.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

C. $Z=51^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a triangle. We are asked to find the measure of angle Z using Law of cosines.

Law of cosines: $c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cdot \text{cos}(C)$ , where, a, b and c are sides opposite to angles A, B and C respectively.

Upon substituting our given values in law of cosines, we will get:

$16^2=19^2+18^2-2(19)(18)\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256=361+324-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256=685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256-685=685-685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$-429=-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$\frac{-429}{-684}=\frac{-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)}{-684}$

$0.627192982456=\text{cos}(Z)$

$\text{cos}(Z)=0.627192982456$

Now, we will use inverse cosine or arc-cos to solve for angle Z as:

$Z=\text{cos}^{-1}(0.627192982456)$

$Z=51.1566718^{\circ}$

$Z\approx 51^{\circ}$

Therefore, the measure of angle Z is approximately 51 degrees.

In this figure m<3=130 <br> What is m<6 ?

Georgia [21]

Answer: $m\angle6=50\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the figure two parallel lines that are intersected by a transversal and several angles are formed.

The angles m∠3 and m∠6 are located inside the parallel lines and on one side of the transversal, this angles are known as "Consecutive interior angles" and they are supplementary (which means that they add up 180°).

Therefore, you know that:

$m\angle3+m\angle6=180\°$

So you can substitute m∠3=130° and solve for m∠6. Then you get:

$130\°+m\angle6=180\°\\m\angle6=180\°-130\°\\m\angle6=50\°$
