In this case we know the three sides of the triangle, then this is a SSS triangle (Side Side Side). To solve this case, first we must use the Law of Cosines, applied to the opposite side to the angle we want to find.
We want to find angle W, and its opposite side is XV, then we apply the Law of Cosines to the side XV:
XV^2=XW^2+WV^2-2(XW)(WV)cos W
Replacing the known values:
116^2=96^2+89^2-2(96)(89)cos W
Solving for W
13,456=9,216+7,921-17,088 cos W
13,456=17,137-17,088 cos W
13,456-17,137=17,137-17,088 cos W-17,137
-3,681=-17,088 cos W
(-3,681)/(-17,088)=(-17,088 cos W)/(-17,088)
0.215414326=cos W
cos W = 0.215414326
Solving for W:
W= cos^(-1) 0.215414326
Using the calculator:
W=77.56016397°
Rounded to one decimal place:
W=77.6°
Answer: Third option 77.6°
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
How you find LCD (lowest common denominator) is that you have to look at the denominator (the bottom number) and try to find the lowest multiple between both of the numbers that is on the bottom (in this case it is 2 and 5). Sometimes you have to multiply both denominators together to get a LCD.
Example of multiplying two denominators together to get an LCD:
1/3 and 1/13 LCD is 39 because you multiply 3 and 13.
1/5 and 1/4 LCD is 20 because you multiply 5 and 4.
