\cfrac{a}{\sin(a)} = \cfrac{b}{\sin(b)} 


\cfrac{31}{\sin(42)} = \cfrac{37}{\sin(x)} 


31\sin(x) = 37 \sin(42)

\sin(x) = \cfrac{37 \sin(42) }{31}

x = \sin^{-1}(\cfrac{37 \sin(42) }{31} )

x = 53 \textdegree

Answer: 53°

We've moved on to inverting the sine.


First let's criticize the question. Question writers: x is a terrible name for an angle; help the kids out and use capital letters like A and B and C for angles and small letters for the sides.


Second, when we have two sides and and an angle not included, there are often two solutions, two angles, supplementary to each other which solve the problem. Supplementary means they add up to 180 degrees, so one acute, one obtuse. Asking to type "the number" doesn't even recognized the possibility.


Let's call this triangle XYZ with vertices X,Y,Z and respective opposite sides x,y,z. We're solving for X and given x=37, z=31, Z=42 deg.


The Law of Sines says


\dfrac{x}{\sin X} = \dfrac{z}{\sin Z}


\sin X = \dfrac{x \sin Z}{z}


\sin X =\dfrac{37 \sin 42}{31} \approx 0.7986


That's a perfectly regular sine, so there will be two triangle angles whose sine is that. The acute one is the principal value,


X_1 = \arcsin 0.7986 \approx 53.0 ^\circ


That's probably the answer they're looking for but of course


X_2 = 180^\circ - 53.0^\circ =127.0^\circ


has the same sine and has an equally valid triangle with those given sides and angle. Bad question.


Will the green box accept 127.0?  Inquiring minds want to know.

The price of an item yesterday was $180. Today, the price rose to $279. Find the percentage increase.
olga55 [171]

Answer: 55%

1. 279 - 180 = 99

2. 99 divided by 180 = 0.55

3. 0.55 x 100 is 55.

55 is the percentage

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−4,−3) and has a slope of \frac{3}{4}
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{3}{4} , then

y = \frac{3}{4} x +c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 3 = 0

y = \frac{3}{4} x ← equation of line
