Answer:

  A.  √13

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make an educated guess and come to the right conclusion.

The triangle is nearly an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two sides 3 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 3. A triangle with two sides of 4 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 4.

So, the third side must be between 3 and 4. Here is an evaluation of the answer choices:

__

A -- between 3 and 4, the correct choice

B -- 3, too short

C -- 1.73, too short

D -- more than 4, too long

__

The question can be answered using your triangle solver app on your calculator, or using the Law of Cosines.

  c = √(a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C))

  c = √(3^2 +4^2 -2·3·4·(1/2)) = √(9 +16 -12)

  c = √13 . . . . . length of the side opposite the 60° angle

Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.

kkurt [141]
The value of m is -30 because once you get m on the one side the equation is 3m=-90 and once you divide -90 by 3 you get m=-30.
