Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
only one triangle can be constructed with three sides each measuring 5cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Cosines features the 3 side lengths of a triangle, plus the measure of the angle opposite one of those sides.
We want angle x, which is opposite the side of length 39.
Then: a^2 = b^2 - 2ab cos C becomes 39^2 = 36^2 + 59^2 - 2(36)(59)cos x
or 1521 = 3481 + 1296 - 2(36)(59) cos x
Subtract (3481+1296) from both sides: 1521 - 4777 = -4248cos x
-3256 = -4248cos x
-3256
Then: cosx = --------------- = 0.766
-4248
Solving for x: x = arccos -0.766 = 0.698 radian, or 40 degrees (answer)
x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
