1. Answer (D). By the law of sines, we have 
in any 
2. Answer (C). The law of cosines, 
accepts up to three sides and an angle as an input.
3. Answer (D). Although this triangle is right, we are not given enough information to uniquely determine its sides and angles - here, we need either one more side or one more angle.
4. Answer (D). Don't get tripped up by answer choice (C) - this is just a rearrangement of the statement of the law of cosines. In choice (D), the signs of 
and 
are reversed.
5. Answer (B). By the law of sines, we have 
Solving gives 
Note that this is the <em>ambiguous (SSA) case</em> of the law of sines, where the given measures could specify one triangle, two triangles, or none at all!
6. Answer (A). Since we know all three sides and none of the angles, starting with the law of sines will not help, so we begin with the law of cosines to find one angle; from there, we can use the law of sines to find the remaining angles.
Wherever you see an x, replace it with -2,
So f(-2) = 2(-2^2) -15
= (2x4)-15
= -7

Answer:
The dimensions of the mirror is 9 feet and 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep in mind that the area and perimeter of a rectangle is:
Area - length x width
Perimeter - 2 (l + w)
List the factors of 18 (the area of the mirror):
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS OF MIRROR:
1 ft and 18 ft
Area = 18 ft^2
Perimeter = 38 feet
2 ft and 9 ft
Area = 18 ft^2
Perimeter = 22 feet
3 ft and 6 ft
Perimeter = 18 feet
The rectangle with dimensions 2 feet and 9 feet corresponds with the area and perimeter of the mirror mentioned. So those are the correct dimensions.
Hope these helps!
