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°
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
It was given that, Joan has

and she will use

of it to make place cards.
We want to find how felt she will use for place cards.
We just have to find,



Therefore Joan will use

yards of felt for the place cards.
An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle in half
The coefficient is the one the variable, in this case x, is multiplied by. The equation is 24 equals seven times x and therefore the coefficient is 7. Hope this helped!
