Answer:

90.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Law of Cosines to solve:

12² = 9² + 8² - 2(9)(8)Cos X

  144 = 81 + 64 - 144Cos X

     -1 = -144Cos X

         -1/144 = Cos X

            Cos^-1 (-1/144) = X

                     X = 90.39789056°

For this case we have that the law of cosine is given by:

c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2-2 (a) (b) * cos (x)

Where:

c = 12 \ ft\\a = 8 \ ft\\b = 9 \ ft

We replace:

12 ^ 2 = 8 ^ 2 + 9 ^ 2-2 (8) (9) * cos (x)\\144 = 64 + 81-144 * cos (x)\\144 = 145-144 * cos (x)\\-1 = -144cos (x)\\cos (x) = \frac {1} {144}\\x = cos ^ {- 1} (\frac {1} {144})\\x = 89.60 \ degrees

Answer:

Option B

Please help me with the question below
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) Angle XBC = 55 because XY is parallel with BD

b) As given, XB = XC, so that triangle XBC is the equilateral triangle.

As XBC is equilateral triangle, angle XBC is equal to angle XCB

Angle XBC = 55° => Angle XCB = 55°

In a triangle, the total value of three corners are equal to 180°

So that: Angle XBC + Angle XCB + Angle BXC = 180°

=> 55° + 55° + Angle BXC = 180 °

=> Angle BXC = 70°

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole ?
mezya [45]
To start solving, separate this shape into 2 separate shapes. The dimensions of the smaller shape are 2 by 3 feet. The dimensions of the larger one are 3 by 11 feet. To find the area of an object, multiply its dimensions. Therefore, you multiply 2 by 3 and 3 by 11. You will get the products 6 and 33. Since we are still working within the same shape, however, you add the products together. You get 39. Therefore, 39 ft. squared is the answer.

What is the equation of the parabola?
irina1246 [14]

Because the parabola opens down and the vertex is at (0, 5), we conclude that the correct option is:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.

<h3>Which is the equation of the parabola?</h3>

The relevant information is that we have the vertex at (0, 5), and that the parabola opens downwards.

Remember that the parabola only opens downwards if the leading coefficient is negative. Then we can discard the two middle options.

Now, because the parabola has the point (0, 5), we know that when we evaluate the parabola in x = 0, we should get y = 5.

Then the constant term must be 5.

So the correct option is the first one:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.
