The law of cosines can be helpful here. The largest angle (C) will be opposite the longest side (c). That law tells us ...

... c² = a² + b² -2ab·cos(C)

Then

... cos(C) = (a² +b² -c²)/(2ab)

We don't actually need the angle. We only need to know the sign of the cosine.

... cos(C) = (7² +15² -17²)/(2·7·15) = -15/210 . . . . negative sign, so C > 90°

The sail has the shape of an obtuse triangle.

A bridge is 3911.1 meters long. Which of the following best describes the length of the bridge in kilometers?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

3.9111 km

Explanation:

The length in kilometers is equal to the meters divided by 1,000. So, if you divide 3911.1 by 1,000 that equals 3.911. You move the decimal point to the left 3 times based on the number of zeros.
