Answer:
We use cosine rule also called cosine law which states
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC
given
a=8cm, b=7cm, c=9cm cos C?
9^2=8^+7^2-2*8*7 cos C
expand
81=64+49-112 cos C
like terms together
81-113=-112 cos C
-32=-112cos C
multiply both sides by -1
32=112cos C
divide both sides by 112
32/112=cos C
cosC=0.2857
find cos inverse of 0.2857
angle C= 73.40
150 minus 30 equals 120 but i did 150/30 and got 5
0.1/2.1 I hope that helps
The distance between the horizontal legs be the distance between the 'x' values '-5' and '2'. 2+5=7 (It is +5 because the distance between -5 and 0 is 5*)
The distance between the horizontals is 7
Same with the vertical points, as the distance is 2. (1+1=2)
Considering that the pythagorean theorem is the a^2+b^2=c^2, and 'a' and 'b' are the sides, then you plug in '7' and '2', making the equation 7^2+2^2=c^2
49+4=c^2
53=c^2
c=sqrt(53)
Hope this helps.
