Using the law of cosine for Triangle KJL, we can write:

j^{2} = k^{2} + l^{2}-2(k)(l)cos(J)  \\  \\ 
2(k)(l)cos(J)=k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2} \\  \\ 
cos(J)= \frac{k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2}}{2(k)(l)}

Using the values of k,j and l, we can write:

cos(J)= \frac{ 4^{2} + (2.89)^{2} - 3^{2} }{2(4)(2.89)}  \\  \\ 
cos(J)= 0.664 \\  \\ 
J= cos^{-1}(0.664) \\  \\ 
J=48.39

Rounding to nearest integer, the measure of angle J will be 48 degrees.
So option B gives the correct answer

Answer: option B. 48°

Explanation:


1) Data:
side j: 3 in

side k: 4in
side l: 2.89 in
angle J: ?

2) Law of cosines

j² = k² + l² - 2kl cos(J)

⇒ 3² = 4² + (2.89)² - 2(4)(2.89)cos(J)

⇒ cos(J) = [16 + 8.3521 - 9] / (23.12)

⇒cos(J) = 0.66402
⇒ J = arc cosine (0.66402) ≈ 48.39°

Mr.Williams physical education class lasts 7/8 hour if instruciton is 1/5 how many minutes are not spent on instruction?
34kurt
= 7/8 − 1/5

= ((7 × 5) − (1 × 8)) / (8 × 5)

= (35 - 8) / 40

= 27/40

= 27/40

SO, 27/40 minutes are NOT spend on instructions.

Hope I helped:P

What is the value of p?<br><br> A. 125°<br> B. 45°<br> C. 35°<br> D. 550
Vikki [24]

Answer:

C- 35 °

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angle adjacent to 90° angle = 90° (supplementary angles of a line segment).

Interior angle adjacent to 125° angle = 55° (supplementary angles of a line segment).

Sum of two interior angles of the triangle = 55+90 = 145°

∠p = 180° - 145° = 35°

I don’t quite understand what to do or how to solve it. Can someone explain please ?
Bess [88]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the vertical line test. Anywhere on that graph, you can draw a vertical line, and it will not touch the function two times. Because of this, it is true.
