Answer:

  (a)  42.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

  cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050

  A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°

The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

_____

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

The smallest angle in a triangle can never be greater than 60°. This lets you eliminate choices that exceed that value.

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{6} - 7 = -4

Required

Solve for x

\frac{x}{6} - 7 = -4

Add 7 to both sides

\frac{x}{6} - 7+7 = -4+7

\frac{x}{6}  = -4+7

\frac{x}{6}  = 3

Multiply through by 6

6 * \frac{x}{6}  = 3 * 6

x = 3 * 6

x = 18
