Triangle P N M is shown. The length of P N is 7, the length of N M is 8, and the length of M P is 11.
Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)

Which equation correctly applies the law of cosines to solve for an unknown angle measure?

72 = 82 + 112 – 2(8)(11)cos(N)
82 = 72 + 112 – 2(7)(11)cos(M)
72 = 82 + 112 – 2(8)(11)cos(P)
82 = 72 + 112 – 2(7)(11)cos(P)

Respuesta :

Answer:

8^2 = 7^2 + 11^2 – 2(7)(11)cos(P)

The equation correctly applies the law of cosines to solve for an unknown angle measure is equation D.

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a polygon with three sides, three vertices, and three angles.

The length of P N is 7,

The length of N M is 8, and

The length of M P is 11.

The law of cosines is used to determine the missing sides and angles if two sides and an angle are given or three sides are given respectively.

The equation that correctly applies should have the two sides and the cosine of the included angle.

The correct equation is 8² = 7² + 11² – 2(7)(11)cos(P)
