Answer:
X+190=7602
X=7412
Step-by-step explanation:
The odometer read 7412 miles at the beginning of the trip.
The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of the triangle if the angle opposite to that side is given as well as the other sides. For this problem, we are given angle B. Therefore, the correct answer among the choices given is option 1 where a is equal to 5 and c is equal to 3.
Well, the X component (assuming x is the horizontal) is equal to RCosZ
Where Z is the angle and R is the size of the resultant
Substitute into formula :
X component = RcosZ
-3 = Rcos135°
R = -3/cos135°
R = 4.24264...
R = 4.24 (2dp)
The vertical component (or Y component) is equal to RSinZ
Vertical component = RSinZ
= 4.24264... × Sin135°
= 3
The answer is 3
