Answer:
a=6.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you know that C is a right angle, you can use the Law of Sines to find a. The first step is to find the size of the angle A, which is 180-74-90=16. Now, you set up a ratio that involves 3 knowns and one unknown to get 
, which after cross multiplying yields 
. PM me if you have any questions?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/4
(-1,-4)...x = -1 and y = -4
now sub and find b, the y intercept
-4 = 1/4(-1) + b
-4 = -1/4 + b
-4 + 1/4 = b
-16/4 + 1/4 = b
-15/4 = b
so the equation in slope intercept form is : y = 1/4x - 15/4
but we need it in general form : Ax + By + C = 0
y = 1/4x - 15/4.....multiply everything by 4 to get rid of fractions
4y = x - 15......subtract x and add 15 ...to both sides
4y - x + 15 = 0 <=== general form
Use the Foil Method:
First: t x t =t^2
Outsides: t x 8 = 8t
Insides: -1 x t = - t
Lasts: 8 x -1 = -8
so you'll have t^2 + 8t - t - 8, simplify it more: t^2 + 7t - 8, A.
