Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5

The solution for right triangles is to use the basic trigonometric function:
For this problem, the length of the hypotenuse is given and we are looking for the side opposite, thus we will use sin x.
where 
x= 55 degrees
h=25 m
sin x= side opposite/hypotenuse
sin55=sideopposite/25m
25msin55=side opposite
side opposite = 20.5 m

Which contract costs more per month? An 18 month cable contract for $2070 or a 12 month contract at $1776? Which is the better d
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Contract A is cheaper because $115 per month is less than $148 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price we divide the total cost given by the total months given for each contract to find out the cost per month.

$2070/18 months = $115 per month

$1776/12 months = $148 per month

Contract A is cheaper because $115 per month is less than $148 per month
