We can solve for the length of side a to the nearest whole number using the Laws of Cosines such as the formula is shown below:
a²=b²+c²-2bcCosA
Solving for the value of a, we have:
a²=10²+14²-2(10)(14)cos54°
a²=131.42
a=11.46
The answer is 11.46 or 11.5.
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides.
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2=10/2
x=5
SO YOU HAVE X(-14X+9). ALL YOU DO IS THE DISTRIBUTION PROPERY OR MULIPLE BY X
SO WE GET -14X^2+9X.
X(-14X+9)= -14X(*)X+9(*)X= -14X^2+9X
