What is the approximate value of b, rounded to the nearest tenth? use the law of sines to find the answer. b = units

You can use the Law of Sines for this problem, but what makes it tough at first glance is that they put a step in before you can use it directly. That first step is to get m∠C. When solving a triangle, always get the third angle if you know the other two so that you can use the Law of Sines (or Law of Cosines) more directly.

The sum of the angles of any triangles is 180°. We know the measures of the two other angles. So we subtract them from 180° to find that third angle.

180° - 76° - 66° = 38°

Now we can use the proportion from the picture. Angle B measures 76°, side b is our unknown, Angle C measures 38°, and side c measures 3 units.

sin 76° sin 38°

=

b 3

Cross multiply to find b (the side). We carry out five places in these calculations to get more accuracy.

3 * sin 76° = b * sin 38°

b = 3 * sin 76° 3 * 0.56611 1.69832

= = = 5.73044

sin 38° 0.29636 0.29636

To the nearest tenth, b - 5.7 units.

answer: on kudzu, being female and being green are independent events.

step-by-step explanation:

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
