Answer:
<u>BC = 3.1666</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you need to know that cosine∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse. We already know that hypotenuse = 5 and that ∅ = 70*. By substituting these in you will get cosine 70* = adjacent/5. Evaluate cosine 70* on the calculator and get 0.633... Multiply both sides by 5 and get adjacent is about equal to 3.1666. Because BC is the adjacent side of the triangle, this is the length of BC.
Its b because yeah im just kidding idk im really stupid jk its b hahaha

Answer: 9 meters</h3>
===========================================
Work Shown:
- side a = 8
- side b = 5
- angle C = 88 degrees
Applying the law of cosines
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b*cos(C)
c^2 = 8^2 + 5^2 - 2*8*5*cos(88)
c^2 = 64 + 25 - 80*cos(88)
c^2 = 86.2080403
c = sqrt(86.2080403)
c = 9.2848285
c = 9
Technically he needs 10 meters of rope because of the extra 0.28 portion, but I'll stick with 9 meters since your teacher said to round to the nearest whole number.
Step-by-step explanation:
A number,c times two equal forty.
