Answer:

Therefore A  =  cos^{-1}(0.4338) = 64.29°

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Law of cosines: a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} – 2bccos(A)

ii) XZ = a = 16 ,  YZ = b = 12,  XY = 17,     ∠Y  =  ∠A

iii)  16^{2}  =  12^{2}  + 17^{2}  - (2\times 12\times 17\times cos(A))

   ⇒    256 = 144 + 289 -  408cos(A)

⇒   256 - 144 -  289  =  -408cos(A)

⇒    -177 = -408cos(A)

⇒    cos A =  \frac{-177}{-408}  = 0.4338

Therefore A  =  cos^{-1}(0.4338) = 64.29°

Is 2a * b = a^2 + b^2 true or false
alisha [4.7K]

First step of the equation is to simplify the equation 2a • b = a2 + b2 into 2 ab = a2 + b2. This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9. hence the answer to this problem is false. we can try another values to verify.
