Answer:
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)
which is the third option
Explanation:
The general rule of cosine is:
a² = b² + c² - 2bc*cos(A)
In our triangle:
a is substituted by p = 8 cm
b is substituted by n = 4 cm
c is substituted by m = 5 cm
A is substituted by P which we want to find
Replace the variables in the general equation with the givens as follows:
p² = n² + m² - 2mn*cos(P)
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)
Hope this helps :)
Use alternate interior angles.
The angle to the left of x is 32
The angle to the right of x is 68
Since the three angles(32, x, and 68) form a straight line, they are supplementary.
32+x+68=180
100+x=180 x=80
