Answer:

b= sin(43°) * 8 / sin(55°) ≈ 6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding the law of sines, each angle corresponds to the side opposite of it. Here, that means that the 82 degree angle is opposite of side c (so they correspond) and that the 55 degree angle corresponds to the side with 8cm. However, we are trying to find the length of side b. Therefore, assuming that the side with 8cm is side A, if we know that

sin A / a = sinB/b = sin C / C

= sin(55°)/8 = sinB/b = sin(82°) / c, we can take c out of the equation to get

sin(55°)/8 = sinB/b

If we know sinB, we can multiply both sides by 8 to remove a denominator to get

sin(55°) * b / 8 = sinB

multiply both sides by 8 to remove the other denominator to get

sin(55°) * b = sinB * 8

divide both sides by sin(55°) to isolate the b

b = sinB * 8/sin(55°).

Therefore, if we know sinB, we can figure out the length of b.

Because the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can say that

180 = 82 + 55 + angle B

180 = 137 + B

subtract both sides by 137 to isolate B

43 = B

b= sin(43°) * 8 / sin(55°) ≈ 6.7

Joe is 5 years older than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 45. What is Sydney’s age?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe = J

Sydney = S

J = 5 + S

J + S = 45

Substitute

5 + S + S = 45

Add

5 + 2S = 45

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

2S = 40

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

S = 20

Sydney is 20 years old

Hope this helps :)

What is x-2y=3 in slope intercept form
Gennadij [26K]

So firstly, subtract x on both sides: -2y=-x+3


Next, divide -2 on both sides, and your answer will be y = 1/2x - 3/2 , or the last option.

Answer:

the answer is 479.

Step-by-step explanation:

to make it simpler, pretend you start from 1. 1,7,so on. multiply six by 79, to get 474. but because you are starting from 5 and not 1, you have to add 5 on.

sorry im super bad at math so this might be wrong
