Question

Help me please, an explanation would be nice as well

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A). 44.1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Triangle XYZ is am obtuse triangle having,

m∠XZY = 133°

m(YZ) = 21 units

m(XZ) = 27 units

By Cosine rule,

(XY)² = (XZ)² + (YZ)² - 2(XZ)(YZ)cosθ

Where θ is the angle opposite to side XY.

(XY)² = (27)² + (21)² - 2(27)(21)cos(133)°

        = 1943.38614

XY = √1943.38614

XY = 44.084

     ≈ 44.1 units

Therefore, length of side XY = 44.1 units

Option (A) will be the answer.
