Answer:

101

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Law of Cosines, for any △ABC with side lengths a, b, and c, a2=b2+c2−2bccosA; b2=a2+c2−2accosB; and c2=a2+b2−2abcosC

.

The Law of Cosines can be used because all three side lentghs are known.

Set up the equation for the Law of Cosines:

a2=b2+c2−2bccosA

Substitute the known values into the Law of Cosines:

312=222+182−2(22)(18)cosA

Square the values and multiply:

961=484+324−792cosA

Add:

961=808−792cosA

Subtract 808

from both sides:

153=−792cosA

Divide both sides by −792

:

153−792=cosA

According to this equation m∠A

is equal to the inverse cosine function of −153792

. Write this:

m∠A=cos−1(−153792)

Calculate the value of the inverse cosine −153792

on a calculator:

m∠A≈101°

Therefore, m∠A≈101°

Who is sacatoa joe in geometry
valkas [14]
I think that you are mistaking the memory tool for something else
or a math book is trying to make math cute by calling them 'socatoa joe' and 'mr. pi' and such


anyway, SOH, CAH, TOA is the way to remember
Sine=oposite/hypotonuse
Cosine=adjacent/hypotonuse
Tangent=oposite/adjacent

(oposite side=side oposite the angle
adjacent is the side touching the angle that is not they hypotonuse
and of course the hypotonuse is the longest side aka, side oposite right angle)

OLga [1]

Answer: b. histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical summary of data previously summarized in a frequency distribution. It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data, the height of each bar shows how many fall into each range(the frequency of each range). Data from a frequency distribution table can be easily summarised graphically on a histogram.

An example of histogram is shown in the attachment
