Response
Part (a)

Step1: Identify the Law to Use

We have a triangle with sides \( AC = 9 \), \( AB = 6 \), \( BC = 14 \), and we need to find the angle \( x \) at \( A \). This is a case for the Law of Cosines, which is given by \( c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab\cos(C) \), where \( C \) is the angle opposite side \( c \). Here, side \( BC = 14 \) is opposite angle \( x \) at \( A \), so \( a = 9 \), \( b = 6 \), \( c = 14 \).

Step2: Apply the Law of Cosines

Using the formula \( \cos(x)=\frac{AC^{2}+AB^{2}-BC^{2}}{2\cdot AC\cdot AB} \)
Substitute the values: \( AC = 9 \), \( AB = 6 \), \( BC = 14 \)
\( \cos(x)=\frac{9^{2}+6^{2}-14^{2}}{2\times9\times6}=\frac{81 + 36-196}{108}=\frac{117 - 196}{108}=\frac{- 79}{108}\approx - 0.7315 \)

Step3: Find the Angle

\( x=\cos^{-1}(-0.7315)\approx137.1^{\circ} \)

Part (b)

Step1: Find the Third Angle

In triangle \( ABC \), the sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^{\circ} \). Given \( \angle A = 93^{\circ} \), \( \angle C=58^{\circ} \), so \( \angle B=180-(93 + 58)=29^{\circ} \)

Step2: Apply the Law of Sines

The Law of Sines is \( \frac{a}{\sin(A)}=\frac{b}{\sin(B)}=\frac{c}{\sin(C)} \). Here, \( AC = 16 \) (opposite \( \angle B = 29^{\circ} \)), \( x \) is opposite \( \angle A=93^{\circ} \). So \( \frac{x}{\sin(93^{\circ})}=\frac{16}{\sin(29^{\circ})} \)

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

\( x=\frac{16\times\sin(93^{\circ})}{\sin(29^{\circ})} \)
\( \sin(93^{\circ})\approx0.9986 \), \( \sin(29^{\circ})\approx0.4848 \)
\( x=\frac{16\times0.9986}{0.4848}\approx\frac{15.9776}{0.4848}\approx32.96\approx33 \)

Part (c)

Step1: Identify the Law to Use

We have a triangle with \( BC = 29 \), \( AC = 13 \), \( \angle C = 41^{\circ} \), and we need to find \( AB=x \). This is a case for the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines formula is \( AB^{2}=AC^{2}+BC^{2}-2\cdot AC\cdot BC\cdot\cos(C) \)

Step2: Apply the Law of Cosines

Substitute \( AC = 13 \), \( BC = 29 \), \( \angle C = 41^{\circ} \)
\( x^{2}=13^{2}+29^{2}-2\times13\times29\times\cos(41^{\circ}) \)
\( 13^{2}=169 \), \( 29^{2}=841 \), \( \cos(41^{\circ})\approx0.7547 \)
\( x^{2}=169 + 841-2\times13\times29\times0.7547=1010-598.002=411.998 \)

Step3: Find \( x \)

\( x=\sqrt{411.998}\approx20.3 \)

Part (d)

Answer:

s:
a) \( \approx137.1^{\circ} \)

b) \( \approx33 \)

c) \( \approx20.3 \)

d) \( \approx28.1^{\circ} \)

e) \( \approx28.2 \)

f) \( \approx6.0 \)
