Mathematics

3 0

It looks like the length of a and b should be the same. You can use the Pythagorean theorem (only works with right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle, a and b are the other side lengths of the triangle)

a² + (4)² = (5)²

a² + 16 = 25

a² = 9

a = 3

a and b have a length of 3

Find the value of x.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

  x ≈ 42.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is given. For this problem, ...

  a = 25, b = 30, c = x , C = 100°

Filling in these values, we have ...

  x^2 = 25^2 +30^2 -2(25)(30)cos(100°)

  x^2 ≈ 1785.4723

  x ≈ √1785.4723 . . . . take the square root

  x ≈ 42.3
