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).

(a) Suppose that a person has an average heart rate of 72.0 beats/min. How many beats does he or she have in 2.0 y? (b) In 2.00
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A= 75686400

B= 7568640000

C= 75686400000

Step-by-step explanation:

1 day= 1440 min

1 year= 365 days

365 days*1440 min= 525600 min , 1 year= 525600 min

525600 min*2 years= 1051200 min

(in 2 years) 72 beats*1051200 min= 75686400

(in 200 years) 75686400*100= 7568640000

(in 2000 years) 7568640000*10 =75686400000

An item is regularly priced at $60 . Jessica bought it on sale for 65% off the regular price. How much did Jessica pay?
adoni [48]

First, convert the 65% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 65% by 100%, or 65% / 100% = 0.650.

Second, find out what 65% of $60 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.650 by the item's cost $60, like this:

0.650 x $60 = $39.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $39.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

<span>$60 - $39.00 = $21.00.</span>
