The Law of Sines produces an ambiguous angle result. This means that there are  

2

angles that will correctly solve the equation. For the first triangle, use the first possible angle value.

Solve for the first triangle.

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.

9x^2 -c =d

add c to each side

9x^2 = c+d

divide by 9

x^2=(c+d)/9

take the square root on each side

x = +- sqrt ((c+d)/9)

simplify

x = +- 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

Answer: 1/3 sqrt (c+d), - 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

If you wanted to make the graph of y = 8x - 10 less steep, as well as shift the
azamat

Answer:

4x-15=y

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the rise over the run the more steep your slope will be thus 4x is less steep than 8x because it does not rise as much.

The y intercept shifted downward means anything (-10>b) can be plausible for b.

(PLEASE HELP) What is the area of a circle with a radius of 8 units
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A = 64π units = about 201.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area is

A = πr^2, where r=radius.

Plug in our radius to get the area!

A = π8^2

<u>A = 64π = about 201.06 units</u>
