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

A shelf is built on a wall, as shown below. What is the value of x?<br> (2x+1) + (3x-1)
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x.

We know that the sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. So, using this property,

2x+1+3x-1+90 = 180

2x+3x = 180-90

5x = 90

x = 18

So, the value of x is equal to 18.
