Answer:

m∠APC = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the above question, we would be making use of circle theorems

Looking at the circle, we can see that

m∠APC is an Angle outside the circle

m∠AOC is a smaller arc in the circle.

Therefore, Circle Theorem states that for a circle with two tangents,

The Angle outside the circle + The smaller arc = 180°

Hence,

m∠AOC + m∠APC = 180°

m∠APC = 180° - m∠AOC

m∠APC = 180° - 150°

m∠APC = 30°

Solve the triangle. A = 54°, b = 11, c = 8

Delicious77 [7]

In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.

For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is

a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9

Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°

9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°

The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4

Trigonometry Identities help please

sesenic [268]

theta is in the fourth quadrant where the cosine is positive.

the third side in the triangle = sqrt (4 - 2) = sqrt2

So sin theta = -sqrt2/2 = Second choice (negative because sine is negative in 4th quadrant)

tan theta = - sqrt2 / sqrt2 = -1
