Consider a triangle ABC like the one below. Suppose that a=51, b=16, and A=108. (The figure is not drawn to scale.) Solve the tr
iangle.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answers to the nearest tenth.
If no such triangle exists, enter "No solution." If there is more than one solution, use the button labeled "or".

Answer:
Part a)
Part b) The total cost is
Part c) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation
Define the variables
Let
x ----> the number of hours
y ----> the total cost in dollars
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or the unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
In this problem we have that
The unit rate or slope is equal to
The y-intercept or initial value is equal to
substitute
Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm
Remember that
3:00 pm=15:00
so
from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to
15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h
For x=6.5 h
substitute in the linear equation and solve for y
Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?
we have that
y=220.25
That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25
