You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the x^2 coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like x^2+bx+c=0, then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

  • b is the opposite of the sum of the roots
  • c is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

  • 4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2
  • 4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8

So, the equation is x^2-2x-8=0

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

  • \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}
  • \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}

And so the equation is

x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0

Answer:

2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

using cosine rule

s^{2} = 1.3^{2} + 1.6^{2} - 2(1.3)(1.6)cos 157

s = \sqrt{8.0793} = 2.842 = 2.8
