The triangle described is of the form SSA. Determine if there is no triangle possible, one triangle possible, or two triangles p

ossible. If only one triangle is possible, solve the triangle. If either two triangles may be formed or no triangle may be formed, say so. The triangle is defined by: b=20, c=21, y=20
No triangle can be formed from this information.





Two triangles may be formed.

Answer: The way to work this problem is to sketch the SSA-described triangle.

Horizontally, mark a ray stemming from point C, going to the right.

From point C, at an angle of elevation of 20 degrees, draw a segment a = 6.3, ending at point B.

Now, from point B, draw a segment perpendicular to the horizontal ray and label it h, for altitude.

Calculate h = 6.3 sin 20o = 2.1547.

Now imagine that, dangling from point B, you have a segment of length c = 9.3; in fact, put a compass with steel point at B and radius 9.3, and draw a big arc.  you'll see that it can intersect the horizontal ray only once; in its swing toward point C, due to c > a, there will be no second intersection of the ray (the arc 'overshoots' the ray).

Thus you see that only one solution exists, and the Law of Sines can be used to solve the triangle:

sin 20 / 9.3 = sin A / 6.3 and this leads to A = 13.4 degrees...and B = 180 - 20 - 13.4 = 146o.

I'll let you solve for b (side AC).

Rasek [7]
Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.

Hope this helps!

what is the result of dividing 48a^3 + 32a^2 + 16a by 4a? A. 12a^2 + 8a + 4 B. 12a^2 + 4a + 8 C. 12a + 8 D. 12a^2 + 4a + 4 Simpl
lora16 [44]

Answer:

1. A. 12a^2 + 8a + 4

2. C. 4xy+16x-4y^2-16y

3. C. 64q^6r^8s^4

4. A. -4x^4y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

48a^3 + 32a^2 + 16a / 4a = (48a^3) / 4a + (32a^2) / 4a + (16a) / 4a = 12a^2 + 8a + 4.

So, the answer is A. 12a^2 + 8a + 4.

(2x-2y)(2y+8) = 4xy - 4y^2 + 16x -  16y.

So, the answer is C. 4xy+16x-4y^2-16y.

(-8q^3 * r^4 * s^2)^2 = (-8)^2 * q^6 * r^8 * s^4 = 64q^6r^8s^4.

So, the answer is C. 64q^6r^8s^4.

-12x^8y^8 / 3x^4y^2 = (-12 / 3) * (x^(8 - 4)) * (y^(8 - 2)) = -4x^4y^6.

So, the answer is A. -4x^4y^6.

Hope this helps!
