Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board, 12 feet, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The measure of the distance from the board to the wall will be the unknown leg.  This is adjacent to the 60° angle.  This gives us the ratio

adjacent/hypotenuse, which is the ratio for cosine.  This gives us the equation

cos 60 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12(cos 60) = (x/12)(12)

12(cos 60) = x

6 = x

The board is 6 feet from the wall.

Use the laws of Sines and law of cosines to find missing dimensions​
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A) ERROR

B) ∠C = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Houston, We have a problem!!! too much information

If we had a legit triangle, the law of sines would hold

19/sin138 = 8/sin20

  28.395 = 23.390

as this is NOT an equality, the triangle does not exist as described.

IF it did, we'd get different results depending on which set we used

∠F = 180 - 138 - 20 = 22°

Law of sines

19/sin138 = DE/sin22 ⇒ DE = 19sin22/sin138 = <u>10.63697...</u>

or

8/sin20 =  DE/sin22 ⇒ DE = 8sin22/sin20 = <u>8.762211...</u>

If we attempt to use Law of cosines

DE² = 19² + 8² - 2(19)(8)cos22 = <u>11.9639...</u>

so really none is correct because we attempt to use trig calculations to a non-triangle.

12) AC² = 15² + 19² - 2(15)(19)cos120

      AC = 29.51270...

29.51270 / sin120 = 15/sinC

C = arcsin(15sin120/29.51270) = 26.1142... <u>26°</u>

Really desperate cant find anyone to help me would really appreciate any help i can get
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Let the model for the change in water vapor be

y = x^3 − 8x^2 + 15x

to find the x intercepts we can factor this expression

x^3 − 8x^2 + 15x = x(x−3)(x−5)

the x intercepts are 0, 3, 5

Hope this helps!
