As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head.  I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.

The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.

To find angle-B, the law of cosines says

       b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)

B  =  angle-B
b  =  the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9

                  (1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)

                 1.96  =  (1) + (3.61)  -  (3.8) cos(B)

Add  3.8 cos(B)  from each side:

                 1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61

Subtract  1.96  from each side:

                             3.8 cos(B) =  2.65

Divide each side by  3.8 :

                                  cos(B)  =  0.69737  (rounded)

Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
                                 B  = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737

                                      =  45.784° .

Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...

By gosh !  Choice 'B' is  45.8° !                    yay !
I'll bet that's it !

The sum of three numbers is 91. the third number is 2 times the first. the first number is 7 less than the second. what are the
PolarNik [594]
Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>

What are some key words used to note addition operations?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<em>T</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>s</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em>

<em>For addition, Caulleen used the words total, sum, altogether, and increase. But we could also have used the words combine, plus, more than, or even just the word "and". For subtraction, Caulleen used the words, fewer than, decrease, take away, and subtract. We also could have used less than, minus, and difference.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>h</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>p</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>h</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>h</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em><u>p</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>u</u></em><em><u>!</u></em><em><u>!</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>

Please help this is due Friday at 11:59 and i don't get it . please answer it step by step ​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The angle <SXN measures 108 degrees, and the angle <SXV measures 72 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determined the angles <SXN and <SXV, you need to first figure out what <SNX amounts to and then use the angle-sum property of the triangle NSX.

The following is true:

<SNX = 90 - <QNX    (this is because <QNS is a right angle)

and

<QNX = <YNP = 56     (given)

so

<SNX = 90 - 56 = 34 degrees

Now, using the triangle-sum property:

<SXN = 180 - <SNX - <XSN = 180 - 34 - 38 = 108 degrees

Now that you have <SXN, to determine <SXV use the property that <SXV is supplementary angle to <SXN, hence

<SXV = 180 - <SXN = 180 - 108 = 72 degrees

All done!
