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: Yes, they equal
Explanation: (4 + 6) x 3 = 30 ; 10 x 3 = 30, 30 = 30

Answer: Choice C</h3>
Explanation:
In this answer choice, we effectively have two columns. In the first column is simply R and B, with R over B. This represents spinning either red (R) or blue (B).
Depending on the outcome, you branch the same outcomes from that.
So if you spin R, then you'll have R and B branch off that. Same idea applies to blue as well.
Something like choice D doesn't work because we have R show up twice at the very bottom.
When solving for a variable, you get the variable you're trying to solve for on one side and everything to the opposite of that variable.
We have the equation <span>5w + 9z = 2z + 3w.
Usually the variable we're solving for we want on the left. But it's fine to have it on the right side, too.
Let's subtract 9z from the left-hand side. That way, the 5w will be alone on the left-hand side.
And remember, anything we do on one side we do to the other side.
</span><span>5w + 9z - 9z = 2z + 3w - 9z
</span><span>5w = -7z + 3w
The 3w term on the right-hand side needs to be removed. So, subtract each side by 3w.
5w - 3w = -7z + 3w - 3w
2w = -7z
Now, we need to divide each side by 2 to see what the w variable is equal to.
2w / 2 = -7z / 2
w = -7z / 2 or w = -3.5z
So, w is equal to -3.5z.

If it’s 5 times you would multiply 8000 x 5 which is 40,000.
