Answer:
∠B ≈ 30.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of sines can be used to solve a triangle when two sides and an angle opposite one of them are given.
__
sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c
sin(B) = (b/c)sin(C) . . . . solve for sin(B)
sin(B) = (14/28)sin(91°) ≈ 0.49992385
The angle is found using the inverse sine function:
B = arcsin(0.49992384) ≈ 29.99496°
Rounded to tenths, the angle is ...
m∠B ≈ 30.0°

<em>Additional comments</em>
Many triangle solver apps and web sites are available if all you want is an answer.
When using your calculator, be sure the angle mode is set to "degrees."
The Law of Sines can also be used to solve a triangle when two angles and one side are known.
Answer:
8.0
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is a right triangle, so we are able to use trigonometric functions. Relative to the angle of 37°, we have the opposite side which is 6 and the adjacent side which is x. The trig function that uses the opposite and adjacent is tangent(SohCahToa). We can set up the following equation:
tan(37) evaluates to about , so we can plug it in and solve for x:
To the nearest tenth, x rounds to 8.0.
The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-3, 1) and (2, -4). Substitute:
Therefore we have the equation of a line
Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 1) to the equation:
<em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: y = -x - 2</h3>
