Calculate DE To The Hundredths Place class=

Sagot :

Answer:  9.03

=====================================================

Explanation:

For now, focus solely on triangle HGF.

We'll need to find the measure of angle F.

Use the law of cosines

f^2 = g^2 + h^2 - 2*g*h*cos(F)

(4.25)^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 - 2*8*6*cos(F)

18.0625 = 100 - 96*cos(F)

18.0625-100 = -96*cos(F)

-81.9375 = -96*cos(F)

cos(F) = (-81.9375)/(-96)

cos(F) = 0.853515625

F = arccos(0.853515625)

F = 31.403868 degrees approximately

---------------------------

Now we can move our attention to triangle DEF.

We'll use the angle F we just found to find the length of the opposite side DE, aka side f.

Once again, we use the law of cosines.

f^2 = d^2 + e^2 - 2*d*e*cos(F)

f^2 = (4.75+8)^2 + (11+6)^2 - 2*(4.75+8)*(11+6)*cos(31.403868)

f^2 = 81.563478

f = sqrt(81.563478)

f = 9.031250 approximately

Rounding to two decimal places means we get the final answer of DE = 9.03
