to the nearest degree in ,
a. Find c.
b. Find mT to the nearest degree in RST if r = 12, t = 7, and mT = 76.
Answer:
Answer:
We know the measures of two angles of the triangle. Use the Angle Sum Theorem to find
. Round angle measures to the nearest degree and side measures to the nearest tenth.
We know the measure of two sides and an angle opposite one of the sides.

A 5-foot fishing pole is anchored to the edge of a dock. If the distance from the foot of the pole to the point where the fishing line meets the water is 45 feet, about how much fishing line that is cast out is above the surface of the water?
Answer: About 42 feet of the fishing line that is cast out is above the surface of the water.
Use the Law of Cosines since the measures of two sides and the included angle are known.
Simplify.
Take the square root of each side.
Law of Cosines
Use a calculator.
Answer:
Answer:
Law of Cosines
Simplify.
Solve for L.
Use a calculator.
Subtract 754 from each side.
Divide each side by –270.
Answer:
Answer:
Determine whether the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines should be used first to solve Then solve Round angle measures to the nearest degree and side measures to the nearest tenth.
Since we know the measures of two sides and the included angle, use the Law of Cosines.
Take the square root of each side.
Use a calculator.
