A farmer has a field in the shape of a triangle. The farmer has asked the manufacturing class at your school to build a metal fe

nce for his farm. From one vertex, it is 435 m to the second vertex and 656 m to the third vertex. The angle between the lines of sight to the second and third vertices is 49°. Calculate how much fencing he would need to enclose his entire field.

Answer:

<em>Fencing required = 1586 m</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statements can be thought of a triangle \triangle ABC as shown in the diagram attached.

A be the 1st vertex, B be the 2nd vertex and C be the 3rd vertex.

Distance between 1st and 2nd vertex, AB = 435 m

Distance between 2nd and 3rd vertex, AC = 656 m

\angle A =49^\circ

To find:

Fencing required for the triangular field.

Solution:

Here, we know two sides of a triangle and the angle between them.

To find the fencing or perimeter of the triangle, we need the third side.

Let us use <em>Cosine Rule </em>to find the third side.

Formula for cosine rule:

cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2bc}

Where  

a is the side opposite to \angle A

b is the side opposite to \angle B

c is the side opposite to \angle C

\Rightarrow cos 49^\circ = \dfrac{656^{2}+435^{2}-BC^{2}}{2\times 435\times 656}\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-2 (435)(656)cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 =619561-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC \approx 495\ m

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides = AB + BC + AC

Perimeter of the triangle = 435 + 495 + 656 = <em>1586 m</em>

<em></em>

<em>Fencing required = 1586 m</em>

Please Help!<br> The following is an isosceles trapezoid, find m &lt; J
ra1l [238]

Answer:

<em>The measure of angle J is 44°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Isosceles Trapezoid</u>

The isosceles trapezoid has its non-parallel sides of the same length, thus the angles they form with their respective parallel sides are congruent.

It means: Angle J is congruent with angle K and angle M is congruent with angle L

The sum of angles in a trapezoid is 180*(4-2)=360°

Thus:

m\angle J+m\angle K+m \angle M+m\angle L = 360^\circ

7x+2+7x+2+25x-14+25x-14=360

Joining like terms:

64x-24=360

Adding 24:

64x=384

Dividing by 64:

x=6°

Thus:

m\angle J = 7*6+2=44^\circ

m\angle M = 25*6-14=136^\circ

The measure of angle J is 44°

Acute angle between the hours hand and the minute hand at 1pm​
Bess [88]

Answer: 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60 min = 360 degree

1 min = 360/60 degree

1 min = 6 degree

and the gap of hour hand and minute hand at 1pm, is of 5 min

therefore acute angle formed is 5 X 6 = 30 degrees.
