Imagine the paths as a right triangle with one leg measuring 8 miles and the other 5. You need to find the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem, so take 8 squared + 5 squared equals x squared, which gives you 64+25=89, then find the square root of 89 which is 9.433981132

Solve <br>|-4b-8|+|-1-b^2|+2b^3. b= -2<br>show steps please .
evablogger [386]
Ok, first put in the -2 for each b. That gives:
|-4(-2)-8|+|-1(-(-2))^2|+2(-2)^3
Let's do each section.
The first section is |-4(-2)-8)|
-4 times -2 is 8, minus 8 is 0. The absolute value of 0 is still 0.
Now we move on to |-1(-(-2))^2)|
First we do exponents
-(-2) is 2, and 2^2 is 4. 4 times -1 is -4. The absolute value of -4 is 4
Now the last section, 2(-2)^3
Exponents first: (-2)^3 is -2 * -2 * -2, which is -8.
-8*2=-16.
0+4+(-16)=-12

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 32 and 35, and that the angle
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The third side is around 58.043

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of cosines:  c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(C)

Plug in the two sides we know (into a and b) and the angle we know (into angle C).

Thus:

c^2=32^2+35^2-2(32)(35)cos(120)

Use a calculator:

c^2=3369\\

c=58.043087...

(Note: Make sure you're in Degrees mode.)
