I used the law of cosines but my anwer doen't match any of the options

Nnesha (nnesha):

show ur work? what did you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My work is: 8.5^2 = 13^2 + 11^2 -2(11)(13) cosT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer was 8.65

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright gimme a sec

Nnesha (nnesha):

well i didn't get 8.65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, I just did it again and got 40.5...

Nnesha (nnesha):

well i took square of 8.5 and 11 13 and then add 11^2 + 13^2 ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you have options ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.5° 76° 67° 35.4°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got A the second time

Nnesha (nnesha):

let me do it again i just want to mke sure..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Nnesha (nnesha):

i got 40.447 so that's the only one looks right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u think u can help me in one more problem?

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'lltry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so we need to find the measure of angle T again but with this triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12^2 = 19^2 + 22^2 - 2(19) (22) cosT 144 = 361 + 484 - 836 cosT 144 = 845 - 836 cosT -701 = -836 cosT -701 / -836 = cosT 0.8385167464 = cosT cos^-1 (0.8385167464) = cos^-1 (cosT) 33.02 ≈ T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's my work and answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
