Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of b. The cosine rule is:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).

The question specifies that a=42, B=120°, and c=35. Plugging in the values:

b^2 = 42^2 + 35^2 - 2(42)(35)*cos(120°).

Simplifying gives:

b^2 = 4459.

Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 66.78 (rounded to the two decimal places).

This means that the length of the third side is 66.78 units!!!

In how many ways can you choose 2 side dishes out of 8
Alina [70]
The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
               For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.

     Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .

BUT ...

That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.

For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A).  Either way, you wind up with (A and B).

So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.

A line has a slope of a and has a y-intercept of (0,b). Which equation represents this line?
Papessa [141]

Step-by-step explanation:

General line equation: y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

We have y = ax + b.

=> y - b = ax

=> y - b = a(x - 0).

The answer is option A.

Because like terms you add or subtract together to make it easier to do the problem. just like you do with whole numbers. you add an subtract to make the answer simpler.

Answer:

\boxed{\ x^2-4x+4 \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2)^2 = (x-2)(x-2)=x(x-2)*-2(x-2)=x^2-2x-2x+4=x^2-4x+4

Hey can you help me fast I am at a 83 and I need to get to a 90 on this.
jeyben [28]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First by looking, you have a slope going upward to the right so it is a positive slope.

Two points on the line that seem to go directly through the grid at the intersection points are ( -60, -90) and ( 40, -50).

Slope is Rise (y axis) over the Run (x axis).  The numbers above have x first and y second.

So the rise is the total distance between -90 and -50 which is 40.

The run is the total distance between 40 and -60 which is a total of 100.

It takes 40 units to get back to the 0 mark on the x axis and the another 60 units to get to the -60 point.

So you slop is 40/100.  You can simplify this down to 4/10 or even further to give you 2/5.
