Vocaloid:

this is the law of cosines, use this to find the angle C, given the sides a, b, c

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

good

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

3 is pretty much the same, just draw the two satellites, the observer, the side lengths, and find the internal angle

kaylak:

b

kaylak:

?

Vocaloid:

I got something a little different, check your calculations again

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

|dw:1520733979460:dw|

Vocaloid:

424^2 = 658^2 + 471^2 - 2(471)(658)cos(x)

kaylak:

50

Vocaloid:

subtract 658^2 and 471^2 from both sides divide both sides by (-2)(471)(658) then take the arccos of the result.

kaylak:

4 is b

kaylak:

we have a different method to find it

the work looks good, I don't see any mistakes so that should be it

2 is good for triangle 3 I think you would just draw the three sides, use law of cosines to find one of the missing angles, then law of sines to find one of the other hands, then find the third angle

kaylak:

is 40 one of the answers

Vocaloid:

yeah, then write 40 degrees as your angle C and find one of the other angle with law of sines

kaylak:

74

kaylak:

snd 66?

Vocaloid:

hm, I got something a little different if we plug in the 40 deg angle from earlier 82/sin(40) = 35/sin(x) find angle x

kaylak:

16

Vocaloid:

hm. that's what I got but I just checked it and it wouldn't work since 180 - 16 - 40 = 124 which isn't one of the other choices :S

kaylak:

but how would I find the 3rd angle

kaylak:

that's what I'm saying

Vocaloid:

let me redo my calculations

kaylak:

that's why I said 66 and 74

Vocaloid:

yeah let's go with that, those are the only choices that work with 40 degrees

Vocaloid:

4 is just another law of cosines question x^2 = 70^2 + 52^2 + 2(70)(52)cos(120) then find x

Vocaloid:

oh whoops

Vocaloid:

x^2 = 70^2 + 52^2 - 2(70)(52)cos(120) sorry

kaylak:

it would be add anyways keep change opposite rule lol c 106

Vocaloid:

yeah that's it

kaylak:

3 was the other 3 options lol

kaylak:

we tried

Vocaloid:

actually hold on

kaylak:

lol ok

Vocaloid:

so yeah, you would re-write sin^2 as 1 - cos^2, then I you would multiply both sides by -1, what would you get?

kaylak:

a?

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

I am not sure how to approach #2

kaylak:

c?

kaylak:

i don't know either lol

kaylak:

@Shadow

Vocaloid:

for #3 I would honestly just set f(x) = 6 and then use an online graphing tool to find the first two values of t above 0

kaylak:

b?

Vocaloid:

I got something a little different, the first time the height is 6 is 2.2 hours and the second time is at 9.8 so 7.6

kaylak:

i just got d too

kaylak:

now 2 do we just guess

Vocaloid:

well normally I'd try and find someone else who can help but they're all busy rn ;_; if you feel comfortable guessing then I suppose so :S

Vocaloid:

there's a discord server for homework help, I could try there :S
