Solving for <em>Angles</em>

\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A

* Do not forget to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for <em>Edges</em>

\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2

You would use this law under <em>two</em> conditions:

  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>third edge</em>
  • ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under <em>three</em> conditions:

  • Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second edge</em>
  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second angle</em>
  • ALL three angles defined [<em>of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet</em>]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.

Samuel is trying to construct the inscribed circle of a triangle.
Yuki888 [10]

The next step to complete the construction will connect the in-center to one of the sides of the triangle.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle)

Samuel is trying to construct the inscribed circle of a triangle.

Using the angle bisectors to find the in-center.

Where two angles bisector meets, the point called in-center.

Next step will be: connect the in-center to one of the sides of the triangle.

Thus, the next step to complete the construction will be connect the in-center to one of the sides of the triangle.

What are the blank numbers for 16, 17, 18, and 19
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

16: 0.5, 5, 7.5

17: 62, 434, 682

18: 12.3, 62.5, 10

19: 1, 75, 300

Step-by-step explanation:

16: 9/18=0.5 so halve the numbers

17: 186/3=62 so multiply numbers by 62

18: 24.6/2= 12.3 so multiply by 12.3 and divide for the last one

19: 125/5=25 so for the first one divide by 25 and for the last two times by 25
