angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here , We have a triangle with sides of length 8.6 feet, 5.8 feet and 7.5 feet.

The Law of Cosines (also called the Cosine Rule) says:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

Using the Cosine Rule to find the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.6 feet:

⇒ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

⇒ c^2 -a^2 - b^2 = -2ab (cosx)

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{ c^2 -a^2 - b^2}{ -2ab}

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{(8.6^2 - 5.8^2 - 7.5^2)}{ ( -2(5.8)7.5)}

⇒ (cosx) =0.18310

⇒ cos^{-1}(cosx) = cos^{-1}(0.18310)

⇒ x = 79.45

The Law of Sines (or Sine Rule) is very useful for solving triangles:

\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{ b}{sin B} =  \frac{c}{sin C}

We can now find another angle using the sine rule:

⇒\frac{ 8.6 }{ sin 79.45} = \frac{7.5}{ sin Y}

⇒sin Y = \frac{(7.5 (sin 79.45))}{  8.6}

⇒Y = 59.02 degrees

So, the third angle =180 - 79.45 - 59.02 = 41.53 degrees.

Therefore, angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

What is the length of segment QV ?, NO LINKS.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

TS = TQ

2x + 8 = 40

2x = 32

x = 16

QV = SV

QV = 3x - 4

QV = 3(16) - 4

QV = 48 - 4

QV = 44

Glen Davis is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one,
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.00457 or 0.457%

Step-by-step explanation:

Glen Davis makes a free throw 74% of the time, meaning he misses 26% of the time. Four him to miss four in a row, it would require him to miss his first throw and his second throw and his third throw and his fourth throw. I highlight and because it is a helpful tip to remember that AND situations require multiplication while OR situations require addition.

So in this question we multiply the probabilities of him missing.

P(MMMM) = \frac{26}{100}* \frac{26}{100} *\frac{26}{100}* \frac{26}{100}  = 0.00457

This answer has been rounded off to three significant figures

Find a parametrization of the line in which the planes x + y + z = -6 and y + z = -8 intersect.
rewona [7]

Answer:

L(x,y) = (2,-8,0) + (0,-1,1)*t

Step-by-step explanation:

for the planes

x + y + z = -6  and y + z = -8

the intersection can be found subtracting the equation of the planes

x + y + z - ( y + z ) = -6 - (-8)

x= 2

therefore

x=2

z=z

y= -8 - z

using z as parameter t and the point (2,-8,0) as reference point , then

x= 2

y= -8 - t

z= 0 + t

another way of writing it is

L(x,y) = (2,-8,0) + (0,-1,1)*t
