Question

Find C round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

C=29.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

$c=50\:ft\\\\a=90\:ft\\\\b=55\:ft$

Using law of Cosines

$C=cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)\\\\C=cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{90^2+55^2-50^2}{2*90*55\right)}\\\\C=29.4^{o}$

Answer 2

$\textit{Law of Cosines}\\\\ \cfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}=cos(C)\implies cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)=\measuredangle C \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{90^2+55^2-50^2}{2(90)(55)}\right)=\measuredangle C\implies cos^{-1}\left( \cfrac{8625}{9900} \right)=\measuredangle C \\\\\\ cos^{-1}\left( \cfrac{115}{132} \right)=\measuredangle C\implies 29.4^o\approx \measuredangle C$
