The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$A(-2,\ 2);\ B(5,\ -3)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(5-(-2))^2+(-3-2)^2}=\sqrt{49+25}=\sqrt{74}\\\\A(-2,\ 2);\ C(-4,\ -1)\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-4-(-2))^2+(-1-2)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}\\\\B(5,\ -3);\ C(-4,\ -1)\\BC=\sqrt{(-4-5)^2+(-1-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{81+4}=\sqrt{85}\\\\P_{\triangle ABC}=\sqrt{74}+\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{85}$

Truth statement are statements or assertions that is true regardless of whether the constituent premises are true or false. See below for the definition of Euclidean Postulates.

<h3>What are the Euclidean Postulates?</h3>

The five Euclidean Postulates are;

1. Any two points can be joined by a straight line segment.

2. In a straight line, any straight line segment can be stretched indefinitely.

3. A circle can be formed using any straight line segment as the radius and one endpoint as the center.

4. Right angles are all the same.

5. If two lines meet a third in a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is smaller than two Right Angles, the two lines will inevitably collide on that side if they are stretched far enough.

The truth statements relating to the attached pictures and their equivalent Euclidean Axiom are;

a) The right angle in the first page of the book shown and the right angles in the last page of the book shown are all the same. (Postulate 4);

b) If the string from the Yoyo dangling from hand in the picture is rotated for 360° such that the length of the string remains equal all thought, and the point from where is is attached remains fixed, it will trace a circular trajectory. (Postulate 3)

c) The swords held by the fighters can be extended into infinity because they are straight lines (Postulate 5)

Which equations for the measures of the unknown

MAXImum [283]

Answer: Option B, Option C, Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

The options written correctly, are:

$A)x = cos^{-1}(\frac{a}{c})\\\\B) x = sin^{-1}(\frac{c}{b})\\\\C)x = tan^{-1}(\frac{c}{a})\\\\D) y = sin^{-1}(\frac{a}{c})\\\\ E)y = cos^{-1}(\frac{c}{b})$

For this exercise you need to use the following Inverse Trigonometric Functions:

$1)\ sin^{-1}(x)\\\\2)\ cos^{-1}(x)\\\\3)\ tan^{-1}(x)\\\\$

When you have a Right triangle (a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees) and you know that lenght of two sides, you can use the Inverse Trigonometric Functions to find the measure of an angle $\alpha$ :

$1)\alpha = sin^{-1}(\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}) \\\\2)\ \alpha =cos^{-1}(\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse})\\\\3)\ \alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

Therefore, the conclusion is that the angles "x" and "y" can be found with these equations:

$x=sin^{-1}(\frac{c}{b})\\\\x= cos^{-1}(\frac{a}{b})\\\\x=tan^{-1}(\frac{c}{a})\\\\\\ y=sin^{-1}(\frac{a}{b})\\\\y=cos^{-1}(\frac{c}{b})\\\\y=tan^{-1}(\frac{a}{c})$
