In a triangle, two sides that measure 8 centimeters and 11 centimeters form an angle that measures 82°. to the nearest tenth of

Gwar [14]

We can use the Сosine formula to solve this problem.
First we must find the third side (АС) of the triangle:

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-2*AB*BC*cos82^o \\ AC^2=8^2+11^2-2*8*11*0.1392 \\ AC^2=64+121-24.4992= 160.508 \\ AC= \sqrt{160.508} \approx 12.67 \ cm$

The smallest angle of the triangle lies opposite the smallest side, so we need to find m∠C.

$cosC= \frac{AC^2+BC^2-AB^2}{2*AC*BC} \\ \\ cosC= \frac{12.67^2+11^2-8^2}{2*12.67*11}= \frac{160.53+121-64}{278.74} = \frac{217.53}{278.74} \approx 0.7804$

Now we can use Bradis's Table (I don't know the name in English, maybe Trigonometric Table?) to find m∠C:

m∠С = 38°42' = 38.7°

Answer: 38.7°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most important things to understand about lines is the definition of slope. Slope is the 'steepness' of the line, also commonly known as rise over run. We can calculate slope by dividing the change in the y-value between two points over the change in the x-value.
