Determine the remaining sides and angles of the triangle ABC
1 answer:
Answer:
The measure of angle B is 41.5°
The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth
The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
- <em>The sum of the measures of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°</em>
In the given Δ ABC
∵ m∠A = 38.1°
∵ m∠C = 100.4°
→ By using the fact above
∵ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
∴ 38.1 + m∠B + 100.4 = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∴ 138.5 + m∠B = 180
→ Subtract 138.5 from both sides
∴ m∠B = 41.5°
∴ The measure of angle B is 41.5°
∵ a is the opposite side of ∠A
∵ b is the opposite side of ∠B
∵ c is the opposite side of ∠C
→ By using the sine rule
∴ =
=
∵ c = 48.4 ft, m∠A = 38.1°, m∠B = 41.5°, and m∠C = 100.4
→ Substitute them in the sine rule above
∴ =
=
→ By using cross multiplication between the 1st and the 3rd fractions
∴ a × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 38.1
→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4
∴ a = 30.61429861
∴ The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth
→ By using cross multiplication between the 2nd and the 3rd fractions
∴ b × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 41.5
→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4
∴ b = 32.87596206
∴ The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

Now the first mechanic takes 4 days to do the job, so after he has worked for 1 day only, he has done 1/4 of the whole thing.
the second mechanic can do it in 6 days, so after 1 day only of work, he has done 1/6 of the whole thing.
the third mechanic can do it in 8 days, so after a day, he has done 1/8 of the total work.
now, if they all three work together, after 1 hour has gone by, the first mechanic has done 1/4 of the whole thing, the second mechanic has done 1/6 of it, and the last one, has done 1/8.
let's say it took all three working together "t" days, that means after 1 hour of work, they all combined have done 1/t of the whole thing, thus
