Answer:

43.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Cosine rule,

From the diagram attached,

x² = y²+z²-2yxcos∅.................... Equation 1

where ∅ = ∠YXZ

Given: x = 8.7 m, y = 10.4 m, z = 12.4 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

8.7² = 10.4²+12.4²-[2×10.4×12.4cos∅]

75.69 = (108.16+153.76)-(257.92cos∅)

75.69 = 261.92-257.92cos∅

collect like terms

257.92cos∅ = 261.92-75.69

257.92cos∅ = 186.23

Divide both sides by the coefficient of cos∅

cos∅ = 186.23/257.92

cos∅ = 0.722

Find the cos⁻¹ of both side.

∅ = cos⁻¹(0.7220)

∅ = 43.78°

∅ = 43.8°

Which graph can be used to find the solution(s) to 4x=-4x?

Elden [556K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The graph is shown in the Figure below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have an equation. On the left side we have a straight line with slope $m=4$ and there is no any y-intercept. On the right side, on the other had, we also have a straight line, but the slope here is $m=-4$ . Therefore, by plotting these two straight lines, we have that the solution is the origin, that is, the point $(0, 0)$ .

The Length of a rectangle exceeds its breadth by 9 cm. if length and breadth are each increased by 3 cm, the area of new rectang

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Breadth = 8 cm

Length = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle:

Breadth = x cm

Length = x + 9 cm

Area = length * breadth

= x * (x + 9)

= x² + 9x

Rectangle with length and breadth increased:

Breadth = x + 3 cm

Length = x + 9 + 3 = x + 12 cm

Area = 84 + (x² + 9x) cm²

(x +3) * (x +12) = 84 + x² + 9x

Use FOIL method

x*x + x*12 + 3*x + 3*12 = 84 + x² + 9x

x² + 12x + 3x + 36 = 84 + x² + 9x {add the like terms}

x² + 15x + 36 = 84 + x² + 9x

x² + 15x + 36 - 84 - x² - 9x = 0

6x - 48 = 0

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8

Breadth = x = 8 cm

Length = x + 9 = 8 +9 = 17 cm

(b) If the sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 48, find the numbers.

Rudiy27

Answer:

23, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be represented as A, since there are two odd numbers, the second number would be A + 2

A + A+2 = 48

2A + 2 = 48

2A = 48 - 2

2A = 46 ( divide both sides by 2)

A = 23

since we know the next number to be A + 2

= 23 + 2 = 25

the two numbers are 23 and 25
