We are given the triangle

△ABC, with m∠A=60° and m∠C=45°, and AB=8.

To start, we will calculate all angles and sides.

Finding angle B:

The total of all angles in a triangle equals 180.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180.

Substituting the known values,

60° + m∠B + 45° = 180.

This gives us m∠B = 75°.

Calculating BC:

Using the law of sines,

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}$

We can substitute in the values.

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}$

$BC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(60)$

$BC=9.798$

Finding AC:

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}$

Now we'll input the values.

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{AC}{sin(75)}$

$AC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(75)$

$AC=10.928$

Calculating Perimeter:

$p=AB+BC+AC$

We substitute values here as well.

$p=10.928+8+9.798$

$p=28.726$

Calculating Area:

Using the area formula,

$A=\frac{1}{2}AB \times AC \times sin(A)$

we can then insert values.

$A=\frac{1}{2}8 \times 10.928 \times sin(60)$

$A=37.85570$ ...............Answer

The perimeter of triangle ABC is $\boxed{28.73}.$

Explanation:

Given:

The measurement of angle A is $\angle A = {60^ \circ }.$

The measurement of angle C is $\angle C = {45^ \circ }.$

The length of side AB is $AB = 8$

Calculation:

The total of all angles in a triangle is ${180^ \circ }.$

$\begin{aligned}\angle A + \angle B + \angle C&={180^ \circ }\\{60^ \circ } + \angle B + {45^ \circ }&= {180^ \circ }\\{105^ \circ }+\angle B&= {180^ \circ }\\\angleB&= {180^ \circ } - {105^ \circ }\\\angleB&= {75^ \circ }\\\end{aligned}$

The sine rule for triangle ABC can be expressed as:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{{BC}}{{\sin {{60}^ \circ }}}&=\frac{8}{{\sin {{45}^ \circ }}}\\BC&= \frac{8}{{\frac{1}{{\sqrt2 }}}} \times \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\\BC &= 9.80\\\end{aligned}$

The length of AC can be determined as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{{AB}}{{\sin {{45}^ \circ }}}&=\frac{{AC}}{{\sin {{75}^ \circ }}}\\\frac{8}{{\sin {{45}^ \circ }}}\times \sin {75^ \circ }&= AC\\10.93& = AC\\\end{aligned}$

The perimeter of triangle ABC is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&= AB + BC + AC\\&= 8 + 9.80 + 10.93\\&= 28.73\\\end{aligned}$

The area of triangle ABC is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Area}}&=\frac{1}{2} \times AB \times AC \times \sin \left( A \right)\\&= \frac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 10.93 \times \sin {60^ \circ }\\&= 4\times 10.93 \times \frac{{\sqrt3 }}{2}\\&= 37.86\\\end{aligned}$

The perimeter of triangle ABC is $\boxed{28.73}$ and the area of triangle ABC is $\boxed{37.86}.$

A recipe for salsa uses 65% tomatoes. If a batch contains 5.2 cups of tomatoes, how large is the batch of salsa.

AnnZ [12381]

The salsa consists of 65% tomatoes, which amounts to 5.2 cups.

Let’s denote the total salsa as "x" cups, representing 100%. Given that 5.2 cups makes up 65%, we have:

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} cups&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5.2&65\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5.2}{x}=\cfrac{65}{100}\implies \cfrac{5.2}{x}=\cfrac{13}{20}\implies 104=13x \\\\\\ \cfrac{104}{13}=x\implies 8=x$
