Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Cosine rule to find AC
AC² = BC² + AB² - (2 × BC × AB × cosB )
= 18² + 12² - ( 2 × 18 × 12 × cos75° )
= 324 + 144 - 432cos75°
= 468 - 111.8
= 356.2 ( take the square root of both sides )
AC = ≈ 18.9
-----------------------------------------
Using the Sine rule to find ∠ A
=
( cross- multiply )
18.9 sinA = 18 sin75° ( divide both sides by 18.9 )
sinA = , then
∠ A = (
) ≈ 66.9°
ANSWER
The larger number is 18
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number.
Then,
Let us add equation (1) and (2).
Divide through by 2
Put in to equation (1).
This implies that,
