Given △ 𝑫𝑬𝑭, use the law of cosines to find the length of the side marked 𝒅 to the nearest tenth.
𝒅𝟐 = 𝟔𝟐 + 𝟗𝟐 − 𝟐(𝟔)(𝟗) (𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟔𝟓)
𝒅𝟐 = 𝟑𝟔 + 𝟖𝟏 − 𝟏𝟎𝟖(𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟔𝟓)
𝒅𝟐 = 𝟏𝟏𝟕 − 𝟏𝟎𝟖 (𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟔𝟓)
𝒅 = √𝟏𝟏𝟕 − 𝟏𝟎𝟖(𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟔𝟓)
𝒅 ≈ 𝟖. 𝟒

Given quadrilateral 𝑮𝑯𝑲𝑱, ∠𝑯 = 𝟓𝟎°, ∠𝑯𝑲𝑮 = 𝟖𝟎°, ∠𝑲𝑮𝑱 = 𝟓𝟎°, ∠𝑱 is a right angle and 𝑮𝑯 = 𝟗 𝐢𝐧., use the Law
̅̅̅ and ̅̅̅̅
of Sines to find the length of 𝑮𝑲, and then find the lengths of 𝑮𝑱
𝑱𝑲 to the nearest tenth of an inch.
By the angle sum of a triangle, ∠𝑯𝑮𝑲 = 𝟓𝟎°; therefore,
△ 𝑮𝑯𝑲 is an isosceles triangle since its base ∠'s have equal
measure.
