You can use this to help you. label the triangle like the picture and use the equations. I hope this helps.
A triangle has sides of length 5, 8, and 10. What is the measure of its largest angle?
1 answer:
We'll use the Law of Cosines
We'll call
side a = length 5
side b = length 8
side c = length 10
and their corresponding angles as A, B and C
"C" would be the largest angle
cos (C) = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) / 2 * a * b
cos (C) = (5^2 + 8^2 - 10^2) / 2 * 5 * 8
cos (C) = 25 + 64 -100 / 80
cos (C) = -11 / 80
cos (C) = <span> <span> <span> -0.1375 </span> </span> </span>
arc cosine ( <span> <span> <span> -0.1375 </span> </span> </span> ) = 97.903 Degrees
The largest angle is 97.903 Degrees

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
You got everything correct so far except for #4.
4. Yes, it is 1. But it would be in months.
So you would put:
1 month = x
12 months = 1 year.
Since the population increases by 1.5 times a <em>month.</em>
For question number 3.
The equation should be:
<- Function
<- Function when x is 12 months (1 year)
(Put those both the same way I put it.)
It gives you the equation to work with, you just have to plug in the values.
1.5 is in the parenthesis because it needs to be the one that is raised by an exponent.
100 is the initial population, so it stays on the outside.
x is the exponent
