The absolute value of 9.8 is 9.8. The absolute value of -10/3 is found by using your order of operations like so:
-10÷3= -3.333...
l-3.333...l = 3.333...

By definition, the absolute value of a number is given by:
$| a | = a
$
Where,
The number a is a real number. This means that the value of a is both negative and positive.
The result is always greater than zero.
Therefore, the absolute value of the given numbers is given by:
$|9.8| = 9.8$
$|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}$
Answer:
the absolute value of 9.8 and of -10/3 is:
$|9.8| = 9.8$
$|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}$

Solve 2(4x + 5) > 7x + 20.

choli [55]

2(4x+5)>7x+20 perform indicated multiplication on left side

8x+10>7x+20 subtract 7x from both sides

x+10>20 subtract 10 from both sides

x>10

or in interval notation, x=(10, +oo)

Postulates can be used to prove theorems. True False

No, because postulates are assumptions. Some true, some not. So it can't be used to prove it

Find the measures of the angles of the triangle whose vertices are A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3).A.) The measure of ∠A

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$\theta_{CAB}=128.316$

$\theta_{ABC}=25.842$

$\theta_{BCA}=25.842$

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3)

We're going to use the distance formula to find the length of the sides:

$r= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}$

$AB= \sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(0-3)^2}=5$

$BC= \sqrt{(1-1)^2+(3-(-3))^2}=9$

$CA= \sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}=5$

we can use the cosine law to find the angle:

it is to be noted that:

the angle CAB is opposite to the BC.

the angle ABC is opposite to the AC.

the angle BCA is opposite to the AB.

to find the CAB, we'll use:

$BC^2 = AB^2+CA^2-(AB)(CA)\cos{\theta_{CAB}}$

$\dfrac{BC^2-(AB^2+CA^2)}{-2(AB)(CA)} =\cos{\theta_{CAB}}$

$\cos{\theta_{CAB}}=\dfrac{9^2-(5^2+5^2)}{-2(5)(5)}$

$\theta_{CAB}=\arccos{-\dfrac{0.62}}$

$\theta_{CAB}=128.316$

Although we can use the same cosine law to find the other angles. but we can use sine law now too since we have one angle!

To find the angle ABC

$\dfrac{\sin{\theta_{ABC}}}{AC}=\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}$

$\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=AC\left(\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}\right)$

$\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=5\left(\dfrac{\sin{128.316}}{9}\right)$

$\theta_{ABC}=\arcsin{0.4359}\right)$

$\theta_{ABC}=25.842$

finally, we've seen that the triangle has two equal sides, AB = CA, this is an isosceles triangle. hence the angles ABC and BCA would also be the same.

$\theta_{BCA}=25.842$

this can also be checked using the fact the sum of all angles inside a triangle is 180

$\theta_{ABC}+\theta_{BCA}+\theta_{CAB}=180$
