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).

How do you work 85 - 10 ÷ 2 + 3
nata0808 [166]
The answer is 83. First divide 10 by 2, which is 5 for a remaining 85-5+3. 85 - 5 is 80 and 80 + 3 is 83.

Explain how you can compare the cost of two items that are different sizes.
Maru [420]

Answer:

Compare the cost for the each (smallest) unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the cost per unit

For example :

20 ounces of water of brand A cost 1.50

30 ounces of water of brand A cost 2

20 ounces of water cost 1.50/20 = 0.075 dollar per ounce

30 ounces of water cost 2/30 = 0.0677 dollar per ounce

What is the slope-intercept form of 12x + 4y = 32?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

D. y=-3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

first, get the 12x on the other side of the equation

12x+4y-12x=32-12x

4y=-12x+32

divide the equation by four

y=-3x+8

Hope this helps!
