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>

The answer is not it is not because if you use the vertical line test it does not pass and if you plotted the coordinates then x would repeat multiple times

Hope this helps

Help, don’t understand this problem.
Mila [183]

Answer:

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)

x + 2y = 8 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is

- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is

- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting in (2)

x + 2(3) = 8

x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 2

Solution is (2, 3 )
