3?
@Vocaloid
have you tried using law of cosines? by finding the missing sides/angles it should be clear whether the triangle(s) are possible or not
0?
good, 0, since angle A is the biggest angle then a must be the biggest side which is not the case here
c²=a²+b²-2abCos(C)
good, so what do you get when you start plugging values into the law of cosines?
A=10.2 B=9.8 C=5.7
just want to ge tthe values straight
good, now solve for cos(C)
c²=a²+b²-2abCos(C) 5.7^2=10.2^2+9.8^2-2*10.2*9.8(CosC)
Choice C
well done
|dw:1526404817581:dw|
any attempts to calculate the projection?
notice how the dot product is in the numerator, start with the dot product of your two vectors
remember the rule for dot product of two vectors: 1. multiply the x-coordinates 2. multiply the y-coordinates 3. add the results from step 1 and 2
10 + -6 = 4
good, now calculate the magnitude of the vector being projected onto, in other words the magnitude of (5,-1)
the magnitude is multiplication right
magnitude = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
sqrt 26
good, now you have the dot product and magntiude, plug these into the projection formula to find the projection
\[\frac{ \sqrt{26} * 4 }{ 4 }\]
|dw:1526406038156:dw|
\[\frac{ 4 * (5,-1) }{ \sqrt{26}^2 }\]
good, now what do you get when you simplify the 4/sqrt(26)^2 part
2/13
choice b
awesome
b^2=ac-2*a*c*(cos B) b^2=22^2*14^2-2*22*14*(cos 110)
oh wait i use law of sines right
no it's law of cosines
let me just double check your calculations
okay
b^2=22^2+14^2-2*22*14*(cos 110) there needed to be a + sign between the 22^2 and the 14^2 not a * sign
B
good
B
yeah that's good
t
good
law of sines right
I think so yeah
\[\frac{ \sin(B) }{ b }=\frac{ \sin(C) }{ c }\]
good, now plug in the values of angle B, angle C, and side c to solve for b
\[\frac{ Sin(85) }{ b }=\frac{ Sin(31) }{ 9.3 }\]
Chioce A
well done
B
good
D
hm. I guess you could start with the large triangle and use law of cosines to try and find the bottom side
|dw:1526408660206:dw|
Im stuck between a and d
try to use the 60 degree angle as the reference angle for the law of cosines, find the bottom side, then use law of cosines again to find angle B keep as many decimal places as possible since the answers are all very close to each other
12.3^2 = 13^2 + x^2 - 2(x)(13)cos(60) solve for x, you will get two values, let's use the larger x-value for now since we are solving for the big triangle
11.45
good, let's keep a few more digits so let's use 11.4538 then we can plug that back into the law of cosines to find angle B
|dw:1526409275487:dw|
b^2=a^2+c^2-2*a*c*(Cos B)
good, start plugging in the sides and angle
b=11.4538 a=13 c=12.3 right?
the lower case letter matches the angle it is across from so side b is the side across from angle B, so b = 13 technically we didn't assign an a and c value but it doesn't really matter here, we can just pick a = 12.3 and c = 11.4538
b^2=a^2+c^2-2*a*c*(Cos B) 13^2=12.3^2+11.4538^2-2*12.3*11.4538 (Cos B) =0.4027
awesome, then you take the arccos of that to get angle B
1.16
your calculator is in radians that would be 66.25 degrees which points us towards choice C
False
good
A, C, D, E,
AAA doesn't work; for law of cosines/sines you need at least one side SAA: yes (law of sines) SAS: yes (that's law of cosines) SSS: yes (law of cosines) SSA: maybe (my research says no?) ASA: yes so BCDF is my best attempt
B C
keep in mind pythaogrean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for a right triangle, it cannot be > or < than so A must be true and C false B is correct any thoughts on D? try to see which values of theta make cos(theta) < 0, or try drawing a triangle where c^2 > a^2 + b^2
yeah d is an answer
ii think
good so A+B+D
D
good
