Math Problem Statement

Solve the triangles based on given sides and angles using trigonometric formulas (Law of Cosines, Law of Sines).

Solution

The image contains 8 triangles, each with given sides and/or angles. These are most likely problems involving the Law of Cosines or Law of Sines, commonly used in trigonometry to find missing sides or angles in triangles.

Let's break down the given problems:

  1. Triangle 1:

    • Sides: AB=6.7m,AC=8.6m,BC=13.7mAB = 6.7 \, \text{m}, AC = 8.6 \, \text{m}, BC = 13.7 \, \text{m}
    • Likely requires the use of the Law of Cosines or Heron’s formula (for area).
  2. Triangle 2:

    • Sides: AB=8mi,AC=10miAB = 8 \, \text{mi}, AC = 10 \, \text{mi}
    • Angle: ACB=143\angle ACB = 143^\circ
    • Use Law of Cosines to find the third side BCBC.
  3. Triangle 3:

    • Sides: AB=11.8ft,AC=9ftAB = 11.8 \, \text{ft}, AC = 9 \, \text{ft}
    • Angle: BAC=43\angle BAC = 43^\circ
    • Law of Cosines can be used to find side BCBC.
  4. Triangle 4:

    • Sides: AB=7m,BC=15m,AC=16mAB = 7 \, \text{m}, BC = 15 \, \text{m}, AC = 16 \, \text{m}
    • This might require Law of Cosines to find an angle.
  5. Triangle 5:

    • Sides: AB=7yd,BC=7.3ydAB = 7 \, \text{yd}, BC = 7.3 \, \text{yd}
    • Angle: ACB=149\angle ACB = 149^\circ
    • Law of Cosines can help determine side ACAC.
  6. Triangle 6:

    • Sides: AB=11mi,AC=14miAB = 11 \, \text{mi}, AC = 14 \, \text{mi}
    • Angle: BAC=120\angle BAC = 120^\circ
    • Use Law of Cosines to find side BCBC.
  7. Triangle 7:

    • Sides: AB=13ft,BC=8ft,AC=15ftAB = 13 \, \text{ft}, BC = 8 \, \text{ft}, AC = 15 \, \text{ft}
    • This could involve Heron’s formula for area or verifying a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
  8. Triangle 8:

    • Sides: AB=6ft,BC=6ftAB = 6 \, \text{ft}, BC = 6 \, \text{ft}
    • Angle: ACB=147\angle ACB = 147^\circ
    • Use Law of Cosines to find side ACAC.
