Given:

The measure of three sides of a triangle are 8, 7 and 14.

To find:

The measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosine:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Let a=8, b=7 and c=14, then by using Law of Cosine, we get

\cos A=\dfrac{7^2+14^2-8^2}{2(7)(14)}

\cos A=\dfrac{49+196-64}{196}

\cos A=\dfrac{181}{196}

Taking cos inverse on both sides.

A=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{181}{196}

A=22.561328

A\approx 22.6

Therefore, the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8 is 22.6 degrees.

pickupchik [31]

Answer: 1902.36

Step-by-step explanation:

When interest is compounded monthly , the formula to find the accumulated amount is

A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{12})^{12t} , where P = principal value , r = rate of interest , t = time.

As per given,

r= 24% =  0.24

P= $1500

t= 1 year

Put all value in formula , we get

A= 1500(1+\dfrac{0.24}{12})^{12\times 1}\\\\=1500(1+0.02)^{12}\\\\=1500(1.02)^{12}\\\\=1500(1.26824179456)\approx1902.36

Hence, he need to pay $1902.36.

A number is divided by 3. That quotient is increased by 12. The result is 46. Find the number.
anzhelika [568]

Let the number be x.

x/3 + 12 = 46

Subtract 12 from both sides and you will get:

x/3 = 34

Multiply both sides by 3:

x = 102
