Answer:

c ≈ 6.08 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is how to solve for a missing side length of a triangle when given 2 sides length and an angle. The side length can be solved using the cosine rule . We use cosine rule to find the length of a side of a triangle when given two sides and an included angle.

The cosine rule formula for finding a side length are as follows

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cosB

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

Using cosine rule

c² = 4² + 3² - 2 × 4 × 3 cos 120°

c² = 16 + 9 - 24 cos 120°

c² = 25 - 24 (-0.5)

c² = 25 + 12

c² = 37

square root both sides

c = √37

c = 6.0827625303

c ≈ 6.08 m

Doss [256]

Solution:

The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{5}{75}=\frac{1}{15} gallon

The second car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{20}{240}=\frac{1}{12} gallon

It mean Sam should rent the First car.

Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip.

So total number of gallons of gas required=\frac{1}{15}*300=20

Total cost of 20 gallons of gas =\frac{49.42}{14}*20= 70.6 dollar
