Hheeeeeeellllppppp meee pleeeaasseee!?!?!?!! In triangle ABC, if the lengths of sides a and c are 8 centimeters and 16 centimeters, respectively, and the measure of angle C is 35 degrees, what is the measure of angle A to two decimal places? A. 16.67 degrees B. 17.50 degrees C. 26.57 degrees D. 35.53 degrees

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that, side b is equal to: \[b ^{2}=a ^{2}+c ^{2}-2a*c*\cos(35°)\] please calculate b, inserting values for a and c

Whhhaaaaa?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to do that..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that is the Carnot theorem. I applied Carnot Theorem in order to find measure of b |dw:1418748444762:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand any of this.. I don't even know why I have to learn it. They never succeeded to teach me these things so now I have no clue what I'm doing. :/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please is this drawing right? |dw:1418748662583:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk I think so..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now we have to know all elements of that triangle

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, have you, at your school study Carnot theorem or"projection theore"?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops studied...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm homeschooled they don't tell me anything

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what theorems have you studied then, at your school?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idek..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what do you know about triangles?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what theorems do you know about triangles?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, if you can not help me, I can not help you!
