Question

one night the temperature of leh was - 8 degree Celsius and the next day it went up to 6 degree Celsius find the difference between the lowest and the highest temperature​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two adjacent sides and the respective diagonal makes a triangle and here, we have the length of two sides and the angle between them..

By using cosine law,

(Refer to the attachment)

➙ d² = (4a)² + (3a)² - 2×4a×3a×cos 60°

➙ d² = 16a² + 9a² - 24a² × 1/2

➙ d² = 25a² - 12a²

➙ d² = 13a²

➙ d = √(13a²)

➙ d = a√13

➙ d ≈ 3.61 a (Ans)

One of the diagonal will have length 3.61a. Similarly you can find the length of other diagonal with the included angle as 120°.
