Answer:

The approximate measure of largest angle is 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in triangle RST, RS = 6 cm, ST = 7 cm, and RT = 8 cm. we have to find the measure of the largest angle in the triangle.

By theorem If one side of a triangle is longer than the another side, then the angle opposite to the longer side of triangle will be larger than the angle opposite to the shorter side.

As longest side is RT.

∴ the angle opposite to the side RT is largest i.e ∠S is largest.

By cosine law,

cos \angleS=\frac{RS^2+ST^2-RT^2}{2(RS)(ST)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{6^2+7^2-8^2}{2(6)(7)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{6^2+7^2-8^2}{2(6)(7)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{1}{4}

⇒ \angleS=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{4})=75.5224878141
\sim76^{/circ}

The approximate measure of largest angle is 76°

Answer:

  b) 105°

  d) 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

An external angle has the same measure as the sum of the remote internal angles.

b) ? = 25° +80° = 105°

d) ? = 35° +95° = 130°

_____

This should be fairly obvious if you consider that the adjacent internal angle together with the external angle totals 180°, and the adjacent internal angle together with the other two internal angles totals 180°.

If the two "remote" angles are A and B, and the adjacent internal angle is C, then we have in symbols ...

  A + B + C = 180° = ? + C

If we subtract C, then we find ...

  A + B = ? . . . . . . the fact we used above

3. Jen’s parents buy a tablet for her to use in school. Of the $1500 cost, her parents expect her to pay back $1000 one year lat
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

<h3>33.3%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating simple interest as shown;

Simple Interest = Principal * Rate *Time/100

Principal = Cost of tablet = $1500

Interest after one year  =  $1500-$1000 = $500

Time = 1year

Substituting this values into the formula;

500 = 1500*rate*1/100\\Cross\ multiplying\\50,000 = 1500 * rate\\Rate = 50,000/1500\\Rate = 33.3%

The interest rate that her parents assumed is 33.3%

Zina [86]
The correct answer is the choice that you have selected, the third choice. 

When, we are looking at the residuals for a regression line, we always want to see the points balance like in the third choice. This means that the equation that we found is right in the middle of the points.
