1. Given any triangle ABC with sides BC=a, AC=b and AB=c, the following are true :

i) the larger the angle, the larger the side in front of it, and the other way around as well. (Sine Law) Let a=20 in, then the largest angle is angle A.

ii) Given the measures of the sides of a triangle. Then the cosines of any of the angles can be found by the following formula:

$a^{2}=b ^{2}+c ^{2}-2bc(cosA)$

2.

$20^{2}=9 ^{2}+13 ^{2}-2*9*13(cosA)

400=81+169-234(cosA) 150=-234(cosA)

cosA=150/-234= -0.641$

3. m(A) = Arccos(-0.641)≈130°,

4. Remark: We calculate Arccos with a scientific calculator or computer software unless it is one of the well known values, ex Arccos(0.5)=60°, Arccos(-0.5)=120° etc

How can I solve this problem

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use letters to label the parts of the triangle while explaining how to solve for x:

Angle A = x (bottom left angle of the triangle)

Angle B = 4x (top angle of the triangle)

Angle C = empty angle (bottom right angle of the triangle)

Angle D = 3x + 54 (angle outside of the triangle)

A line has a angle measurement of 180 degrees.

Angle C & D make up the line, meaning Angle C + Angle D = 180 degrees.

To find Angle C, we would subtract Angle D's equation from 180 like this:

180 - (3x + 54)

Now Angle C equals 180 - (3x + 54)

Now we have all the angles inside the triangle. To find x, we are going to sum up Angle A, B, & C and set it equal to 180.

We set the equation to 180 because a the sum of the interior angles for a triangle is 180.

The equation looks like this:

(180 - (3x + 54)) + 4x + x = 180

Now we use basic algebra to solve it:

(180 - (3x + 54)) + 4x + x = 180

(distribute the - to (3x + 54))

180 - 3x - 54 + 4x + x = 180

(add like terms on the left side of the equation)

126 + 2x = 180

(subtract 126 from both sides)

2x = 54

(divide both sides by 2)

x = 27

To prove this answer is correct, plug it back in the original equation and you'll see that it ends up equaling 180, which is the sum of interior angles for triangle.

A builder of houses needs to order some supplies that have a waiting time Y for delivery, with a continuous uniform distribution

xenn [34]

Answer:

The Expected cosy of the builder is $433.3

Step-by-step explanation:

$400 is the fixed cost due to delay.

Given Y ~ U(1,4).

Calculating the Variable Cost, V

V = $0 if Y≤ 2

V = 50(Y-2) if Y > 2

This can be summarised to

V = 50 max(0,Y)

Cost = 400 + 50 max(0, Y-2)

Expected Value is then calculated by;

Waiting day =2

Additional day = at least 1

Total = 3

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of Max {0, y - 2} * ⅓ Lower bound = 1; Upper bound = 4, (4,1)

Reducing the integration to lowest term

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of (y - 2) * ⅓ dy Lower bound = 2; Upper bound = 4 (4,2)

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of (y) * ⅓ dy Lower bound = 0; Upper bound = 2 (2,0)

Integrating, we have

y²/6 (2,0)

= (2²-0²)/6

= 4/6 = ⅔

Cost = 400 + 50 max(0, Y-2)

Cost = 400 + 50 * ⅔

Cost = 400 + 33.3

Cost = 433.3
