Answer:

Solution to Problem 1:

Use the fact that the sum of all three angles of a triangle is equal to 180 o to write an equation in C.

A + B + C = 180 o

Solve for C.

C = 180 o - (A + B) = 43 o

Use sine law to write an equation in b.

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B)

Solve for b.

b = a sin (B) / sin(A) = (approximately) 5.4 cm

Use the sine law to write an equation in c.

a / sin(A) = c / sin(C)

Solve for c.

c = a sin (C) / sin(A) = (approximately) 7.1 cm

Problem 2

The angle of elevation to the top C of a building from two points A and B on level ground are 50 degrees and 60 degrees respectively. The distance between points A and B is 30 meters. Points A, B and C are in the same vertical plane. Find the height h of the building(round your answer to the nearest unit).

diagram problem 2

Solution to Problem 2:

We consider triangle ABC. Angle B internal to triangle ABC is equal to

B = 180 o - 60 o = 120 o

In the same triangle, angle C is given by.

C = 180 o - (50 o + 120 o) = 10 o

Use sine law to find d.

d / sin(50) = 30 / sin(10)

Solve for d.

d = 30 *sin(50) / sin(10)

We now consider the right triangle.

sin (60) = h / d

Solve for h.

h = d * sin(60)

Substitute d by the expression found above.

h = 30 *sin(50) * sin(60) / sin(10)

Use calculator to approximate h.

h = (approximately) 115 meters.

Problem 3

A triangle ABC has side a = 12 cm, side b = 19 cm and angle A = 80 o (angle A is opposite side a). Find side c and angles B and C if possible.(round answers to 1 decimal place).

Solution to Problem 3:

Use sine law to write an equation in sin(B).

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B)

Solve for sin(B).

sin (B) = (b / a) sin(A) = (19/12) sin(80) = (approximately) 1.6

No real angle B satisfies the equation

sin (B) = 1.6

The given problem has no solution.

Problem 4

A triangle ABC has side a = 14 cm, side b = 19 cm and angle A = 32 o (angle A is opposite side a). Find side c and angles B and C if possible.(round answers to 1 decimal place).

Solution to Problem 4

Use sine law to write an equation in sin(B).

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B)

Solve for sin(B).

sin (B) = (b / a) sin(A) = (19/14) sin(32) = (approximately) 0.7192

Two angles satisfy the equation sin (B) = 0.7192 and the given problem has two solutions

B1 = 46.0 o and B2 = 134 o

Solution 1: Find angle C1 corresponding to B1

C1 = 180 - B1 - A = 102 o

Solution 1: Find side c1 corresponding to C1

c1 / sin(C1) = a / sin(A)

c1 = 14 sin(102) / sin(32) = (approximately) 25.8 cm

Solution 2: Find angle C2 corresponding to B2

C2 = 180 - B2 - A = 14 o

Solution 2: Find side c2 corresponding to C2

c2 / sin(C2) = a / sin(A)

c1 = 14 sin(14) / sin(32) = (approximately) 6.4 cm

Exercises

1. A triangle ABC has angle A = 104 o, angle C = 33 o and side c = 9 m. Solve the triangle ABC by finding angle B and sides a and b.(round answers to 1 decimal place).

2. Redo problem 2 with the distance between points A and B equal to 50 meters.

Solutions to Above Exercises

1. B = 43 o, a = 16.0 m , b = 11.3 m

2. 191 meters.

Can someone help me on this ? its Algebra 1 on exponents
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, V=lwh. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3} into the formula for volume. You get (x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} ), and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get \frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} =  \frac{x^3}{6}. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that \frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}. For your final answer, you write 6^{-1}x^3. This corresponds to answer choice B.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br><br> _____ units
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           42+15

Simplify

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           57

Using cross products

57x = 42 (x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x +420

15x = 420

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28
