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!!!

If sin theta = 1/3 and tan theta < 0, what is the value of cos theta?
STatiana [176]
If sin Ф=1/3>0 and tan Ф<0; then Ф belongs to the second quadrant and cos Ф will be negative (cos Ф<0).

sin²Ф+cos²Ф=1
(1/3)²+cos²Ф=1
1/9+cos²Ф=1
cos²Ф=1-1/9
cos²Ф=8/9
cos Ф=⁺₋√(8/9)=⁺₋2√2 / 3

We have two possible solutions.
cos Ф=2√2 / 3 This solutions is not possible, because in this case cos Ф has to be negative (cos Ф<0)

cos Ф=(-2√2) / 3 this solutions is right.

answer:B. -2 square root 2 /3    (or    (-2√2) /3  )
