The triangle was just flipped so the missing side is going to equal 36, so...
2y+20= 36
(Subtract 20 from each side to isolate the 2y)
2y= 16
(Divide each side by 2 to isolate the variable)
ANSWER:
y= 8
0.4×29.95
=11.98 so your answer is 11 dollars and 98 cents
What we know so far:
Side 1 = 55m
Side 2 = 65m
Angle 1 = 40°
Angle 2 = 30°
What we are looking for:
Toby's Angle = ?
The distance x = ?
We need to look for Toby's angle so that we can solve for the distance x by assuming that the whole figure is a SAS (Side Angle Side) triangle.
Solving for Toby's Angle:
We know for a fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°; therefore,
180° - (Side 1 + Side 2) = Toby's Angle
Toby's Angle = 180° - (40° + 30°)
Toby's Angle = 110°
Since we already have Toby's angle, we can now solve for the distance x by using the law of cosines r² = p²+ q²<span>− 2pq cos R where r is x, p is Side1, q is Side2, and R is Toby's Angle.
</span>
x² = Side1² + Side2² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)] cos(Toby's Angle)
x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)
x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]
x² = 7250 - 2445.44
x = √4804.56
x = 69.31m
∴The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m
Hi! so you would find x by adding the corners up to 180 degrees.
steps:
Add the corners
90+(2x+1)+(5x+5)
7x+96=180
then subtract 96 from 180
you’d get 7x = 84
then divide 7 on both sides and get x=12
