<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

Ray UW is the angle bisector of VUT. If mVUW = (4x + 6)° and mWUT = (6x – 10)°, what is the measure of WUT? 32° 38° 48° 76°
stepan [7]
Ray UW bisect VUT it means it must be breaking them in two equal parts
VUT=VUW+WUV
and mVUW= mWUV
4x+6=6x-10
-2x=-16
x=8
mWUT=6x-10=6(8)-10=38°

Your answer is 38°
