<h3>Answer: 22 degrees</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

Use the law of cosines to isolate angle A

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)

3^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 - 2*5*7*cos(A) ... plug in a=3, b=5, c=7

9 = 25 + 49 - 70*cos(A)

9 = 74 - 70*cos(A)

74 - 70*cos(A) = 9

-70*cos(A) = 9 - 74 .... subtract 74 from both sides

-70*cos(A) = -65

cos(A) = -65/(-70) ... divide both sides by 70

cos(A) = 13/14

A = arccos(13/14) .... apply the arcosine function to both sides

A = 21.7867892982619

This rounds to 22 degrees

The length of rectangle is 5 cm greater than its width. The perimeter is 106cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Width-24 Length-29

Two sides of the rectangle are 5 cm bigger than the other two. So you would add the two 5 cm together (10cm). If you take the 10 cm off you (106-10) you will get a square. Then all you have to do is divide 96 by 4 (24), and add back on the two 5cm from the beginning to the length (29).

What is the measure of f in the figure shown?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The measure of angle f is 61°

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180° meaning;

180 - 98 = 82

82 is the angle measure of the unlabeled angle.

All triangles angles add up to 180° meaning;

37 + 82 = 119

180 - 119 = 61°
