Answer:

1.) \sqrt{13.341}  ≈ 3.652

2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:

1.) a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA --> law of cosines formula.

   a^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 - 2(3)(3)cos(75) --> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.

   a^2 = 18 - 18cos75 --> in between steps.

   a^2 = 13.341 --> more simplifying.

   a(hypotenuse) = \sqrt{13.341} or 3.652 --> answer

2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

Good luck! :)

Explain how the net of rectangular prism can help you find the surface area or the prism?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

A 3d cardboard box has 6 sides, each of which are rectangles. If you unfold the 3D box, and flatten it out, then you'll be left with 6 rectangles such as what you see in the attachment below. This is one way to unfold the box. This flattened drawing is the net of the 3D rectangular prism. You can think of it as wrapping paper that covers the exterior of the box. There are no gaps or overlapping portions. If you can find the area of each piece of the net, and add up those pieces, that gets you the total area of the net. This is the exactly the surface area of the box.

In the drawing below, I've marked the sides as: top, bottom, left, right, front, back. This way you can see how the 3D box unfolds and how the sides correspond to one another. Other net configurations are possible.

Plzzzzz help i'm in desprate need of help with this
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Right = has angle measure of 90°

Acute = has angle measure less than 90°

Equilateral = 2 or more angles whose angle measures are congruent to others

Circle = measures 360°

<u>Obtuse = Angle measure greater than 90° and less than 180°</u>

Hope this helps!
