What is the measure of ∠F, to the nearest degree?
44°
57°
71°
78°

Answer:
Option A. 44°
Step-by-step explanation:
In a given triangle FGH sides have been given as FG = 7 yards, FH = 6 yards, and GH = 5 yards.
We have to calculate the approximate value of ∠F.
We apply the cosine rule in the given triangle.
5² = 7² + 6² - 2×7×6×cosF
25 = 49 + 36 - 84× cosF
25 = 85 - 84 cosF
84cosF = 85 - 25 = 60
[tex]cosF=\frac{60}{84}=0.71428[/tex]
[tex]F=cos^{-1}( 0.71428) = 44.4[/tex]
F = 44°
Therefore option A. 44° is the correct answer.
