Answer:
see the attachments for the two solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
When the given angle is opposite the shorter of the given sides, there will generally be two solutions. The exception is the case where the triangle is a right triangle (the ratio of the given sides is equal to the sine of the given angle). If the given angle is opposite the longer of the given sides, there is only one solution.
When a side and its opposite angle are given, as here, the law of sines can be used to solve the triangle(s). When the given angle is included between two given sides, the law of cosines can be used to solve the (one) triangle.
___
Here, the law of sines can be used to solve the triangle:
A = arcsin(a/c·sin(C)) = arcsin(25/24·sin(70°)) = 78.19° or 101.81°
B = 180° -70° -A = 31.81° or 8.19°
b = 24·sin(B)/sin(70°) = 13.46 or 3.64
Answer:
The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the rectangular prism V = L × W × H, where
- L is its length
- W is its width
- H is its height
∵ A rectangular tank has a length of 4 m, a width of 12 m, and
a height of 3.5 m
∴ L = 4 m
∴ W = 12 m
∴ H = 3.5 m
∵ V = L × W × H
∴ The volume of the tank = 4 × 12 × 3.5
∴ The volume of the tank = 168 m³
∵ The tank is filled with water of its capacity
→ That means the volume of the water is the volume of the tank
∵ The volume of the water = the volume of the tank
∴ The volume of the water = × 168
∴ The volume of the water = 112 m³
∴ The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³
