Answer:
a ≈ 4.68
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines tells you ...
a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)
a = √(b² +c² -2bc·cos(A))
a = √(5² +8² -2·5·8·cos(33°)) = √(25 +64 -80·0.83867) ≈ √21.906
a ≈ 4.68
Answer:
x = (22/17), y= (79/17)
Step-by-step explanation:
Just substitute x = 2y - 8 into y = 9x - 7 and solve.
I don't really like these algebra problems which pretend to be geometry.
The bisector makes two equal angles, so
x/2 + 17 = x - 33
50 = (1/2) x
x = 100
That means ABC = 100/2 + 17 = 67 degrees
CBD = 100 - 33 = 67 degrees, equal so that checks
We're asked for ABC which is 67 + 67 = 134 degrees
Answer: 134°
