Law of sines: How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠A = 75°, a = 2, and b = 3? No triangles can be formed. One t
Vinvika [58]

We have been given angle A as 75 degrees and sides a = 2 and b = 3.

Using Sine rule, we can set up:

\frac{Sin(A)}{a}=\frac{Sin(B)}{b}

Upon substituting the given values of angle A, and sides a and b, we get:

\frac{Sin(75)}{2}=\frac{Sin(B)}{3}

Upon solving this equation for B, we get:

\Rightarrow 3Sin(75)=2Sin(B)\\  \Rightarrow Sin(B)=\frac{3Sin(75)}{2}\\  \Rightarrow Sin(B)=1.4488\\

Since we know that value of Sine cannot be more than 1. Hence there are no values possible for B.

Hence, the triangle is not possible. Therefore, first choice is correct.

If x=-7 is a root of the equation x^2+kx+49=0, then k=​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

k=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x^{2}+kx+49 = 0

x = -7

Substitution can be used to find the value of k:

(-7)^{2}+(-7)k+49 = 0

49-7k+49 = 0

98 -7k = 0

k = 14

Hope this helps :)
