Answer:

We use cosine rule also called cosine law which states

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC

given

a=8cm, b=7cm, c=9cm cos C?

9^2=8^+7^2-2*8*7 cos C

expand

81=64+49-112 cos C

like terms together

81-113=-112 cos C

-32=-112cos C

multiply both sides by -1

32=112cos C

divide both sides by 112

32/112=cos C

cosC=0.2857

find cos inverse of 0.2857

angle C= 73.40

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."

Mariana [72]

You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.

19\cdot \cfrac{1}{10^5}\implies 19\times 10^{-5}$
