Answer:

If you're only allowed one answer, then I'd say the best answer is SAS. If multiple answers are allowed, then SSS can be included.

=========================================================

Explanation:

With SSS, you can use the law of cosines to find any or all of the three angles. You'll have to do a bit of algebra to isolate the angle.

---------

With SAS, you can use the law of cosines

Law of cosines

c^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab*cos(C)

we have 'a' and 'b' as the two sides, with C as the included angle (it is between sides 'a' and 'b')

Don't forget to apply the square root to both sides to fully isolate the missing side c.

---------

You cannot use the law of cosines with ASA. There isn't enough information. However, you can use the law of sines to figure out the other side lengths. Keep in mind that you'll need to determine the third missing angle first.

Answer:

SSS and SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of cosines: The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known.

If the information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS and ASA is given, then we will immediately use SSS and SAS  by using the law of cosines to find one of the remaining measures because Law of cosines is applied if we know one angle opposite and the other two sides.

Also, in ASA, we know two angles and one side, thus we cannot use Law of cosines in this, rather Law of sines can be accurately use in this case.

if you have two sides, encroaching an angle, then the Law of Cosines can be used to find a missing side, thus SAS will work fine for that, now, if you have no angles given, but you know all sides, you can use the Law of Cosines as well, by solving it for the angle, and get the angles, on which case, SSS will do... .now as far as ASA, if you have two angles and one side known, then... that's not very workable for the law of cosines

please mark me brainliest :)

The dimensions of a 7-cm by 2-cm rectangle are<br> multiplied by 3. How is the area affected?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Original rectangle:  Since the area of a rectangle is the length * width, the area of this rectangle is 7 * 2 = 14 square cm.

New rectangle: The new dimensions of this are 7*3 = 21 cm by 2*3 = 6 cm.  To find the area, we multiply these two together.  21*6 = 126 square cm.

126 is 9 times greater than 14, so the area will be multiplied by 9.

Is this equation a linear function? If so give the intersepts 12x+3y=6
Katarina [22]
Dear Mendozaaj55, 12x + 3y = 6 is a linear function. To find the y-intercept set x = 0 and solve --> 3y = 6 --> y = 2. Therefore, the y-intercept is (0,2). To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve. 12x = 6 ---> x = .5---> the x-intercept is the coordinate (.5, 0). Best.

There are 32 students in a class. Nine of those students are women. What percent are men?
QveST [7]

Answer:

72%

Step-by-step explanation:

you can divide part of a whole by the whole to get a decimal

this decimal is the percentage when you move the decimal 2 places to the right

32 - 9 = 23 men

23/32 = .72 (rounded)

.72 = 72%
