When we are given 3 sides, we try to solve the angles first by using the
law of cosines
cos (A) = [b^2 + c^2 - a^2] / (2 * b * c)
cos (A) = [43^2 + 17^2 -27^2] / (2 * 43 * 17)
cos (A) = [1,849 + 289 -729] /

cos (A) =

<span>
0.96374829001368
Angle A = 15.475
Now that we have one angle, we next can use the
Law of Sines
sin(B) / side b = sin(A) / side a
sin(B) = sin(A) * sideb / sidea
</span></span></span><span>sin(B) = sin(15.475) * 43 / 27
</span><span>sin(B) = 0.26682 * 43 / 27
sin (B) = </span><span>0.424935555555</span>
Angle B = 25.147 Degrees
Remember the arc sine (<span>0.424935555555) also equals </span>
<span>
<span>
<span>
154.85
</span></span></span>Finally, calculating the third angle is quite easy
Angle C = 180 - Angle (A) - Angle(B)
Angle C = 180 - 15.475 - 154.85
Angle C = 9.675

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
Use Pythagoras theorem. The distance between the cars, 8km, is the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, one leg of which is 6km and the other of which is, say, x km
x = sqrt(8^2 - 6^2) km.
You can crunch the numbers.
Answer:
y = 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The y intercept is 0 since it crosses the y axis at 0
The slope is rise over run
From (0,0) we go up 5 and to the right 1
5/1 = 5
Slope = 5
The slope intercept equation is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 5x+0
y = 5x
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 6x-5y=5
2) 3x+5y=4
ets perform the following operation
1) +2), This leads to the following equation:
6x+3x-5y+5y=5+4
From where we obtain the solution for x
9x=9
x=1
