8 is worng

Answer 14

have of ab = 5.5

Answer 15

well, you have the angle, and you also have the 2 sides making it, so is all you need to use the Law of Cosines

\(\bf a^2 = b^2+c^2-(2bc)cos(A)\implies a = \sqrt{b^2+c^2-(2bc)cos(A)}\)

Answer 16

or u cud do that .

Answer 17

im confused how to do that

Answer 18

Well then we know that it's scalene

Answer 19

hmmm have you covered the Law of Cosines yet?

just plug in the values.

Answer 23

well, in this case, your triangle resembles the sides "a" "b" and "c". so just plug them in

Answer 24

a = √8^2 + 11^2 - 2(88) cos (32.2) , i think its that, my trig is rusty >.>

Answer 25

can explain ^^

Answer 26
