Y/a −b= y/b −a, if a≠b solve for y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y= ab    if a≠b

Step-by-step explanation:

y/a −b= y/b −a

multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions

ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)

distribute

ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a

b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b

subtract ay on each side

by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b

by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b

add ab^2 to each side

by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b

by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b

factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right

y (b-a) = ab(b-a)

divide by (b-a)

y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a)    b-a ≠0   or b≠a

y = ab

Please help me!!!!! How do you get 67.3 and 112.7 from .9228
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct in that we need to use the Law of Sines: \frac{c}{sinC} =\frac{b}{sinB}=\frac{a}{sinA}.

Here, when we use the Law of Sines, we have: \frac{28}{sin(63)}=\frac{29}{sinB}.

Cross multiply:

(sinB) * 28 = (sin63) * 29

28sinB ≈ 25.839

sinB ≈ 0.9228

Now, in order to solve for B, we need to use inverse sin (sin^{-1}):

sin^{-1}(sinB)=sin^{-1}(0.9228)

The sines on the left cancel out, and we're left with:

B ≈ 67.3 degrees

Now, one thing to keep in mind when doing Law of Sines is that there is potentially more than one answer possible for the degree measure. The other degree measure can be found by subtracting this one from 180:

180 - 67.3 = 112.7 degrees.

Hope this helps!

Help!! whats the answer? and how do I solve!! :(
Sever21 [200]
I think the answer is 20.25 because when solving for the area of a triangle you do 1/2 base times height and so the equation would be
1/2(9)(4.5)
you would start by doing 9(4.5) which equals 40.5
then you would divide by 1/2 which equals 20.25
hope this helps:)
