Answer:

1.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of the largest side of the triangle. The cosine rule is:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).

The question specifies that a=0.5, B=120°, and c=1.5. Plugging in the values:

b^2 = 0.5^2 + 1.5^2 - 2(0.5)(1.5)*cos(120°).

Simplifying gives:

b^2 = 3.25.

Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

This means that the length of the third side is 1.8 units!!!

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) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan(37) = \frac{6}{x}

tan(37) evaluates to about , so we can plug it in and solve for x:

0.7536 = \frac{6}{x} \\0.7536x = 6\\x = 7.962

To the nearest tenth, x rounds to 8.0.
