Answer:

The correct answer option is B. 0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the value of $cos \theta$ using the law of cosines.

We know that the formula of the cosine rule is given by:

$c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 - 2 a b cos C$

So substituting the given values in the above formula:

$10.9 ^ 2 = 5.8 ^ 2 + 10.5 ^ 2 - 2 (5.8) (10.5) cos C$

$118.81=33.64+110.25-121.8cosC$

$118.81 - (33.64+110.25) = -121.8cosC$

$118.81-143.86=-121.8cosC$

$cosC=\frac{-25.05}{-121.8}$

cos C = 0.21

The function, y(r)=2.76r , is used to convert Russian rubles in Japanese yen, and the function, P(y)=0.16y , is used to convert

timurjin [86]

They probably want 880 pesos, since they asked you do intermediate rounding

but a more accurate answer would be
883.20 pesos

To combine the functions, you'd substitute in 2.76r for y in 0.16y. This would give you 0.16(2.76r), which simplifies to 0.4416r, but they want you round this to the nearest hundredth, so its really 0.44r. Substitute in the 2000 for r and you get 0.44 * 2000 which is 880 pesos

macy is trying to construct an isosceles triangle. She assigns and angle measurement of 40 degrees to the unique angle of the tr

Hitman42 [59]

Given that Macy wants to construct an isosceles triangle, with the unique angle being 40° it implies that for the triangle to be isosceles, the base angles should be the same. The size of the base angles will be:
(180-40)/2=70
given that that the base is 6 cm, Macy can only form 1 triangle with these dimensions.
The length of the other sides will be found using sine rule
a/sin A=b/sin B
a=6 cm
A=40°
b=?
B=70
hence:
6/sin 40=b/sin 70
b=(6sin 70)/sin40
b=8.77 cm
