Answer:
(a) 42.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.
a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)
cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050
A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°
The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>
The smallest angle in a triangle can never be greater than 60°. This lets you eliminate choices that exceed that value.
Answer:
19.1 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The situation given represents a right triangle.
Thus, we would use trigonometric function to find how far north the boat travelled.
Let's represent how far the boat travelled north with "x".
Thus:
Reference angle = 23°
Opposite = x
Adjacent = 45 miles
Apply TOA:
Tan 23° = Opp/Adj
Tan 23° = x/45
Multiply both sides by 45
45 × Tan 23° = x
x = 45 × Tan 23°
x = 19.1013667
x = 19.1 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)
Answer:
forstone
Step-by-step explanation:
sike I lied I dont know this RESPECTFULYY!!
40/100×120=4/1×12=48. 1/4×200=50. so 1/4 of 200 is greater than 40% of 120.
