Answer:

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos B

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine rule can be use when you are given three sides of a triangle and ask to find any angle or when you are given two sides and a included angles(the angle between the two sides given) and ask to find the length of a side.

The equation Sophia can use to solve for the side length(b) of a triangle when given two length and the included angle can be expressed below. Sophia was given two sides and an included angle and was asked to find a side length b.

For sides a, b and c the cosine rule can be represented below

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos B

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C

The equation required base on your question is

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos B

Solve the inequality and show your solution on a number line: −4x≥−1

kiruha [24]

*To solve an inequality, it's the same as solving an equation; isolate the variable to one side.

For this, all you need to do is divide both sides by -4. And since we are dividing by a negative, flip the inequality sign and your inequality is $x\leq\frac{1}{4}$

Now to graph this. Since x can be "equal to" 1/4 ( ≤ = less than or equal to), you will have a closed circle on 1/4. And since x can also be "less than" 1/4, the arrow will be going to the left of 1/4.

Claudia was cooking breakfast for her entire family she may double the amount of chocolate chip pancakes as she did regular panc

maw [93]

Answer: she made 36 chocolate chip pancakes, 18 regular pancakes, 9 blueberry pancakes and 27 sausagesl

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of chocolate chip pancakes that she made.

Let x represent the number of regular pancakes that she made.

Let y represent the number of blueberry pancakes that she made.

Let z represent the number of sausages that she made.

she made double the amount of chocolate chip pancakes as she did regular pancakes. This means that

w = 2x

x = w/2

she only made half as many blueberry pancakes and she did regular pancakes. This means that

y = x/2

y = w/4

she made triple the amount of sausage as blueberry pancakes. This means that

z = 3y

z = 3w/4

if she cooked 90 items total, it means that

w + x + y + z = 90 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = w/2, y = w/4 and z = 3w/4 into equation 1, it becomes

w + w/2 + w/4 + 3w/4 = 90

Multiplying through by 4, it becomes

4w + 2w + w + 3w = 360

10w = 360

w = 360/10

w = 36

x = w/2 = 36/2

x = 18

y = w/4 = 36/4

y = 9

z = 3y = 3 × 9

z = 27
