Law cosines: $y^{2} =$ 16 + 256 - 128 $\sqrt{3} ;$ => y ≈ 16.51;
Law sines: 16/sinx = 16.51/sin30 => sinx = 0.48 => x ≈ 29 degrees;

Find AB. Round to the nearest tenth. 61°

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

AB ≈ 14.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given two sides (BC and CA) and an angle (C) between them; the law of cosines is a good tool for calculating the third side of the triangle here. To remind you, the law of cosines tells us the relationship between the sides of a triangle with side lengths a, b, and c:

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos{C}$

Where C is the angle between sides a and b. c is typically the side we're trying to find, so on our triangle, we have

$c=AB\\a=BC=16\\b=CA=5\\C=m\angle C=61^{\circ}$

Substituting these values into the law of cosines:

$c^2=16^2+5^2-2(16)(5)\cos{61^{\circ}}\\c^2=256+25-160\cos{61^{\circ}}\\c^2=281-160\cos{61^{\circ}}\\c=\sqrt{281-160\cos{61^{\circ}}}\\c\approx 14.3$

What equation relates the number of quarters x and the number of quarters x and the number of dime y to the goal of $10

Dimas [21]

.25x+.10y=$10

.25 because that is the value of the quarter, times x the number or quarters you have and .10 because that is the value of the dime times y, the number of dimes you have.
