From the law of sines, we have:

\displaystyle{ \frac{\sin \angle X}{x}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{y}, 

where x and y are the sides opposite to angles X and Y, respectively.


Substituting the known values, we have:



\displaystyle{ \frac{51^{\circ}}{5}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{2}, thus

                           \displaystyle{ \sin \angle Y=\frac{\sin 51^{\circ}}{5}\cdot2\approx \frac{0.777}{5}\cdot2=0.31.


Using a calculator, we can find that arcsin(0.31)=18 degrees, approximately.

We know that sine of (180-18)=162 degrees is also 0.31. But 162 and 51 degrees add up to more than 180 degrees.

Thus, there is only one triangle that can be formed under these conditions.

34kurt

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

Mr.Eastman drew triangle JKL,with a height of 12 inches and a base of 12 inches

Area of JKL = 1/2 × 12 inches × 12 inches

= 72 Square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sum the residuals, you would get 0

if you sum of the absolute values of the residuals you wouldn't be doing "least-squares regression"
