Answer:

The measure of the largest angle is 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to find the measure of an angle from the length of the </em>

<em>sides of the triangle</em>

- We can do that by using the cosine rule

- If the three angles of the triangle are A , B , C, then the side opposite

 to angle A is BC , the side opposite to angle B is AC and the side

 opposite to angle C is AB, So to find measure of angle A use the rule

 cos(A)=\frac{(AB)^{2}+(AC)^{2}-(BC)^{2}}{2(AB)(AC)}

<em>Lets solve the problem</em>

- Assume that the triangle is ABC where AB = 14 cm , BC = 10 cm and

 AC = 6 cm

- We need to find the measure of the largest angle

- The largest angle is opposite to the longest side

∵ The longest side is AB

∴ The largest angle is C

By using the rule above

∴ cos(C)=\frac{(AC)^{2}+(BC)^{2}-(AB)^{2}}{2(AC)(BC)}

∵ AB = 14 cm , BC = 10 cm , AC = 6 cm

∴ cos(C)=\frac{(6)^{2}+(10)^{2}-(14)^{2}}{2(6)(10)}

∴ cos(C)=\frac{36+100-196}{120}

∴ cos(C)=\frac{-60}{120}=-0.5

∴ cos(C) = -0.5 ⇒ that means angle C is obtuse angle

∴ m∠C = cos^{-1}(-0.5)=120

* <em>The measure of the largest angle is 120°</em>

Hello!

A triangle has sides measuring 14 cm, 10 cm and 6 cm. The measure of the largest angle of this triangle measures:

Note: Perimeter = 30

We have the following data:  

p (perimeter) = 14 + 10 + 6 = 30

a = 14 cm  

b = 10 cm  

c = 6 cm  

α (angle) = ?  

*** Note: The largest angle (α) is always opposite the larger side.

We apply the data to the Cosine Law, let's see:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos\:\alpha

14^2 = 10^2 + 6^2 - 2*10*6*cos\:\alpha

196 = 100 + 36 - 120\:cos\:\alpha

120\:cos\:\alpha = -196 + 100 + 36

120\:cos\:\alpha = -60

cos\:\alpha = \dfrac{-6\diagup\!\!\!\!0}{12\diagup\!\!\!\!0} \frac{\div6}{\div6}

cos\:\alpha = \dfrac{-1}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{cos\:\alpha = 120\º}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\purple{\checkmark}

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle of the triangle is 120º

Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract $44 from $100 since that is the cast of the jeans. Then get left remaining with $56. Since he wants to buy 2 shirts only you divide 56 by 2 to then equaling $28. So then each shirt is $28.

An earthquake with a magnitude of about 2. 0 or less is called a microearthquake. It is not usually felt. The intensity of an ea
Alecsey [184]

The intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2 is 100 times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake .

<h3>What is magnitude of earthquake?</h3>

Magnitude of earthquake is the measure of the size of origin of the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake keeps the same value for each place.

An earthquake with a magnitude of about 2. 0 or less is called a micro-earthquake and not felt usually.The intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.

Let the intensity of this earthquake is <em>n </em>times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake. Thus the intensity of standard earthquake can be given as,

n=10^2\\n=100

If the magnitude would be 3 then the intensity would be,

n=10^3\\n=1000

It would be 1000 times greater than the standard earthquake and so on.

Thus, the intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2 is 100 times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake .

Thomas is 4 years older than his brother william. in five years the sum of their age will be 24. how old is each boy?
Rasek [7]
Let William be x years old.

Thomas = (4 + x) years

In five years,

William = (x + 5) years

Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years

Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.

x + 5 + 9 + x = 24

2x + 14 = 24

2x = 24 - 14 

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

10f-30g

Step-by-step explanation:

we have:

5(2f - 6g)

we apply distributive property:

5(2f - 6g)

5*2f+5*(-6g)

finally we have:

Phones-R-Us charges $16.95 per month and $0.05 per text message. Awesome Wireless charges $22.95 per
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

S \leq 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone R-Us= $16.95 + $0.05 per SMS

Awesome Wireless = $22.95 + $0.02 per SMS

Required

Determine the number of SMS such that Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us

Represent the SMS with S

For Phone R-Us, we have:

SMS = 16.95 + 0.05S

For Awesome Wireless, we have:

SMS = 22.95 + 0.02S

For Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us, we have:

22.95 + 0.02S \geq 16.95 + 0.05S

Collect Like Terms

0.02S - 0.05S \geq 16.95 - 22.95

-0.03S \geq -6

Solve for S

\frac{-0.03S}{-0.03} \geq \frac{-6}{-0.03}

S \leq 200

<em>Hence: for Awesome Wireless to cost more or equal to Phone R-Us, the number of SMS must not exceed 200</em>
