Question

Find c. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{c\approx15.5ft}`

Explanation:

Use the cosine law:

`c^2=15^2+20^2-2(15)(20)\cos50^o\\\\(\cos50^o\approx0.6428)-\text{look at the picture}\\\\c^2=225+400-600(0.6428)\\\\c^2=625-385.68\\\\c^2=239.32\to c=√(239.32)\\\\c\approx15.46997\to c\approx15.5`
