Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let dinosaur be at C

apply sine formula

∠A=56°

∠B=34°

∠C=180-(56+34)=180-90=90°

$\frac{20}{sin 90} =\frac{BC}{sin 56} \\BC=20 sin 56 \approx 16.58 miles$

Solve the triangle A = 2 B = 9 C =8

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 12}\degree \\ B=\text{ 114}\degree \\ C=54\degree \end{gathered}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the angles of the given triangle, we can use the law of cosines:

$\begin{gathered} \cos (C)=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab} \\ \cos (A)=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\ \cos (B)=\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca} \end{gathered}$

Then, given the sides a=2, b=9, and c=8.

$\begin{gathered} \cos (A)=\frac{9^2+8^2-2^2}{2\cdot9\cdot8} \\ \cos (A)=\frac{141}{144} \\ A=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{141}{144}) \\ A=11.7 \\ \text{ Rounding to the nearest degree:} \\ A=12º \end{gathered}$

For B:

$\begin{gathered} \cos (B)=\frac{8^2+2^2-9^2}{2\cdot8\cdot2} \\ \cos (B)=\frac{13}{32} \\ B=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{13}{32}) \\ B=113.9\degree \\ \text{Rounding:} \\ B=114\degree \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \cos (C)=\frac{2^2+9^2-8^2}{2\cdot2\cdot9} \\ \cos (C)=\frac{21}{36} \\ C=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{21}{36}) \\ C=54.3 \\ \text{Rounding:} \\ C=\text{ 54}\degree \end{gathered}$

2, 10 after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 centered at the<br> origin?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the center is the origin, the dilation factor multiplies each coordinate:

(2, 10) ⇒ (1/2)(2, 10) = (1, 5)
