Answer:

the largest angle of the field is 149⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

perimeter of the triangular filed, P = 120 m

length of two known sides, a and b = 21 m and 40 m respectively

The length of the third side is calculated as follows;

a + b + c = P

21 m  + 40 m  + c = 120 m

61 m +  c = 120 m

c = 120 m - 61 m

c = 59 m

                         B

                     ↓            ↓  

                  ↓                          ↓

                ↓                                       ↓

            A →  →  → →  →  → →  → →    →    →  C

Consider ABC as the triangular field;

Angle A is calculated by applying cosine rule;

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \ Cos A\\\\Cos \ A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \\\\Cos \ A = \frac{40^2 + 59^2 - 21^2}{2 \times 40 \times 59} \\\\Cos \ A = 0.983\\\\A = Cos ^{-1} (0.983)\\\\A = 10.6 \ ^0

Angle B is calculated as follows;

Cos \ B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac} \\\\Cos \ B = \frac{21^2 + 59^2 - 40^2}{2 \times 21 \times 59} \\\\Cos \ B = 0.937\\\\B= Cos ^{-1} (0.937)\\\\B = 20.5 \ ^0

Angle C is calculated as follows;

Cos \ C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \\\\Cos \ C = \frac{21^2 + 40^2 - 59^2}{2 \times 21 \times 40} \\\\Cos \ C = -0.857\\\\C = Cos ^{-1} (-0.857)\\\\C = 149\ ^0

Therefore, the largest angle of the field is 149⁰.

What is Rational Number​
abruzzese [7]
Rational number, in arithmetic, a number that can be represented as the quotient p/q of two integers such that q ≠ 0. In addition to all the fractions, the set of rational numbers includes all the integers, each of which can be written as a quotient with the integer as the numerator and 1 as the denominator.

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is of 0.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the expected mean, \sigma is the standard deviation(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.

A lumber company is making boards that are 2920.0 millimeters tall.

This means that \mu = 2920.

A sample of 12 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2922.7 millimeters with a variance of 121.00.

This means that X = 2922.7, n = 12, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11. So

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{2922.7 - 2922}{\frac{11}{\sqrt{12}}}

t = 0.22

The value of the test statistic is of 0.22.
