Question

Can someone please help me with these two questions pleasee

Answer 1

Answer:

7. 62.8 sq.in.

8. 21.2 sq.in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{1}{2}ab\sin\theta$

a, b - adjacent sides

θ - included angle

=============================================

7.

a = 9in, b = 14in, θ = 85°

sin85° ≈ 0.9962

Substitute:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{1}{2}(9)(14)\sin85^o=\dfrac{1}{2}(126)(0.9962)\approx62.8 in^2$

8.

a = 12 in, b = 5 in, θ = 135°

sin135° = sin(180° - 45°) = sin45° ≈ 0.7071   used sin(180° - x) = sin(x)

Substitute:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{1}{2}(12)(5)\sin135^o=\dfrac{1}{2}(60)(0.7071)\approx21.2\ in^2$
