this is the law of cosines, use this to find the angle C, given the sides a, b, c
d
good
@Vocaloid
3 is pretty much the same, just draw the two satellites, the observer, the side lengths, and find the internal angle
b
?
I got something a little different, check your calculations again
d
|dw:1520733979460:dw|
424^2 = 658^2 + 471^2 - 2(471)(658)cos(x)
50
subtract 658^2 and 471^2 from both sides divide both sides by (-2)(471)(658) then take the arccos of the result.
4 is b
we have a different method to find it
the work looks good, I don't see any mistakes so that should be it
good
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
is 40 one of the answers
yeah, then write 40 degrees as your angle C and find one of the other angle with law of sines
74
snd 66?
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
16
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
but how would I find the 3rd angle
that's what I'm saying
let me redo my calculations
that's why I said 66 and 74
yeah let's go with that, those are the only choices that work with 40 degrees
4 is just another law of cosines question x^2 = 70^2 + 52^2 + 2(70)(52)cos(120) then find x
oh whoops
x^2 = 70^2 + 52^2 - 2(70)(52)cos(120) sorry
it would be add anyways keep change opposite rule lol c 106
yeah that's it
3 was the other 3 options lol
we tried
@Vocaloid
actually hold on
lol ok
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?
a?
good
I am not sure how to approach #2
c?
i don't know either lol
@Shadow
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
b?
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
i just got d too
now 2 do we just guess
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
there's a discord server for homework help, I could try there :S
