How do you solve for sides a and b of a triangle when you know the value of c?

1 answer:

7 0

Assuming you have some angle measures, you could use the Law of Sines to solve for the missing side lengths, which states that,
$\frac{a}{sinA}= \frac{b}{sinB}= \frac{c}{sinC}$ ,
where a, b, and c correspond to the given sides you have, and A, B, and C represent the angles you have.

In this scenario, you would have to have the values for c (which we do), and have the angle measure of C. In addition, we would also need an angle measure that is either A or B.

Hope this helps a bit!

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The sum of the first five classroom numbers in a row is 5k + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the smallest classroom number on the side of the building is numbered k and each consecutive odd integer is separated by a difference of

Therefore:

k is the first class room.

k + 2 is the second class room.

k + 4 is the third class room.

k + 6 is the third class room.

k + 8 is the fifth class room.

The sum of the five consecutive class rooms are given as:

k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) + (k + 6) + (k + 8)

collecting alike terms we get

= k + k + k + k + k + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8

= 5k + 20

Therefore, The sum of the first five classroom numbers in a row is 5k + 20.

60$. These are my equations :
600 * 0.2 = 120 ; 600 - 120 = 480
Then...
600 * 0.1 = 60 ; 600 - 60 = 540
Which then became....
540 - 480 = 60
