A triangle has two sides measuring 16 and 21. The included angle is 116°. What is the length of the side opposite the 116° angle

Crank

Answer:

Length of the side opposite to angle $116^{\circ}$ is 31.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Included angle can be defined as the angle in between two sides of the triangle.

So angle $116^{\circ}$ is in between sides 16 and 21.

Refer to the attachment for triangle diagram.

To find the length of opposite side, use cosine rule as follows

$a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}-2\:b\:c\cos\left(A\right)$

From the diagram, $b = 21,c = 16,\angle A=116^{\circ}$

Substituting the values in the formula,

$a^{2}=\left(21\right)^{2}+\left(16\right)^{2}-2\left(21\right)\left(16\right)\cos\left(116\right)$

Simplifying,

$a^{2}=441+256-225792\left(-0.44\right)$

$a^{2}=991.59$

Taking square root on both sides,

$\sqrt{a^{2}}=\sqrt{991.59}$

$a=31.49$

Therefore length of third side is 31.49

The Cosmic Pool company is building a pool in Mary’s back yard. The pool is to be 8ft longer than it is wide and cover 240 squar

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Cosmic Pool company's pool's length is 8ft longer than the width, you can immediately rule out choices A and B, since their widths are greater than their lengths by 8, and not vice versa. This leaves choices C and D. The perimeter of a quadrilateral's formula is $2(l+w)$ , which means the length plus the width and multiplied by 2. Using this formula, you can infer that the perimeter is $2(20+12)$ = $2*32$ = 64ft, so choice C is the correct answer.
