Lengths of two sides of the triangle and the angle between them are known. Find the length of the third side and the area of the triangle.
We don't know what type of a triangle we're considering here. Therefore the universal and quickest solution to the first problem is use of the cosine rule, which states that for a triangle with sides a,b and c and the angle θ between sides “a” and “b”:c2=a2+b2-2abcos(θ) To find the area of the triangle we should use the formula: A=1/2absin(θ)

All answers ▸l1 and l2 are tangents of a circle. l1 intersects the circle at (3-√3,5) with a gradient of √3, and l2 intersects the circle at (3+√2,4+√2) with a gradient of -1. Find the centre of the circle, and hence find the radius of the circle.
This is a question from a past paper: https://prnt.sc/r6jnxc
write showing all working the following algebraic expression as a single fraction in its simplest form: 4-[(x+3)/ ((x^2 +5x +6)/(x-2))]
x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = (x^2 - a^2)(x + b) where a,b are integers. Work out the three linear factors of x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18. (Note: x^3 indicates x cubed and x^2 indicates x squared).
