Answer:

The approximate measure of largest angle is 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in triangle RST, RS = 6 cm, ST = 7 cm, and RT = 8 cm. we have to find the measure of the largest angle in the triangle.

By theorem If one side of a triangle is longer than the another side, then the angle opposite to the longer side of triangle will be larger than the angle opposite to the shorter side.

As longest side is RT.

∴ the angle opposite to the side RT is largest i.e ∠S is largest.

By cosine law,

cos \angleS=\frac{RS^2+ST^2-RT^2}{2(RS)(ST)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{6^2+7^2-8^2}{2(6)(7)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{6^2+7^2-8^2}{2(6)(7)}

⇒ cos \angleS=\frac{1}{4}

⇒ \angleS=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{4})=75.5224878141
\sim76^{/circ}

The approximate measure of largest angle is 76°

The answer should be C. By combining like terms you can find the answer. 1.75a+2.75a = 4.5a
2.25b + 1.75b = 4b
2.25c + 1.25c = 3.5c

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}

4\sqrt{3} is an irrational number.

Third expression is

7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′. The c
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

If a point X(x, y) is translated a units right and b units down, the new location is X'(x + a, y + b) whereas if a point X(x, y) is translated a units left and b units up, the new location is X'(x - a, y - b).

If a point X(x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is X'(y, -x)

From the image attached, ∆ABC is at A(0, 0), B(1,3) C(1, 1)

If ∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left (x - 1, y - 2), the vertices would be A*(-1, -2), B*(0, 1), C*(0, -1)

If it is then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

vivado [14]

Answer:

a) A sequence is an ordered list of numbers whereas a series is the sum of a list of numbers; b) A series is divergent if it is not convergent. A convergent series is a series for which lim n → ∞ an exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a pattern; it is an ordered list of numbers.  A series, however, is the sum of a sequence.

A convergent series is a series for which the sequence of its partial sums tends to a limit; this means the limit exists.  A divergent series is a series that is not convergent.
