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

devlian [24]

Answer:

Tootsie Rolls = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls together were 15 more than the number of Reese's Cups.

There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.

There were 12 Milky Ways and 14 Hershey Bars.

Solution

Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15

There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.

Hershey Bars = 14

Then,

Reese's Cups = 14 - 4

= 10

Milky ways = 12

Hershey bars = 14

Reese's Cups = 10

Milky ways = 12

Milky Ways + Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15

12 + Tootsie Rolls = 10 + 15

12 + Tootsie Rolls = 25

Subtract 12 from both sides

Tootsie Rolls = 25 - 12

= 13

Tootsie Rolls = 13

Starlight tree farms sells douglas firs and noble first one December they sold 139 more douglas first than noble firs the total
Aloiza [94]
Part A:

Given that <span>Starlight tree farms sells Douglas Firs and Noble First.

Let </span>n be the number of Noble Fir trees sold, then<span> if they sold 139 more Douglas First than Noble Firs, this means that the number of Douglas First trees sold is n + 139.

Given that the total number of trees sold was 377, then we have, n + n + 139 = 377, which means that 2n + 139 = 377

Therefore, the equation that could be used to solve for n, the number of Noble Fir trees sold is 2n + 139 = 377.


Part B:

</span><span>Given that you are driving 55 miles per hour and you must drive a total of 440 miles. If you already driven 275 miles, then, the equation representing the number of hours, h, it will take to reach your destination is given by 55h + 275 = 440.

Subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation gives:

</span>55h+275-275=440-275 \\  \\ \Rightarrow55h=165
<span>
Dividing both sides by 55 gives:

</span>\frac{55h}{55} = \frac{165}{55}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow h=3
<span>
Therefore, the time it will take you to reach your destination is 3 hours.</span>
