solvefor a,90=180-2*arccos((2a)/c)

Solution

solve for

a, 9 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ} - 2 \cdot arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

Solution

a = \frac{c}{2 2}

Solution steps

9 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ} - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

Switch sides

π - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{2}

Solve by substitution

π - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{2}

Let:

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = u

18 0^{\circ} - 2 u = 9 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} - 2 u = 9 0^{\circ} : u = 4 5^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} - 2 u = 9 0^{\circ}

Move

18 0^{\circ}

to the right side

18 0^{\circ} - 2 u = 9 0^{\circ}

Subtract

18 0^{\circ}

from both sides

18 0^{\circ} - 2 u - 18 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ}

Simplify

- 2 u = 9 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ}

- 2 u = 9 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 u = 9 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 2

\frac{- 2 u}{- 2} = \frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2} - \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{- 2 u}{- 2} = \frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2} - \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{- 2 u}{- 2} : u

\frac{- 2 u}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{- b} = \frac{a}{b}

= \frac{2 u}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= u

Simplify

\frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2} - \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2} : 4 5^{\circ}

\frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2} - \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{9 0 ^{\circ} - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{- b} = \frac{a}{b}

9 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} = - (18 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ})

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} - 9 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Join

18 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ} : 9 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ}

Convert element to fraction:

18 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}

= 18 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 2 - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Add similar elements:

36 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}

= 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 5^{\circ}

u = 4 5^{\circ}

u = 4 5^{\circ}

u = 4 5^{\circ}

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

Substitute back

u = arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

Subtract

9 0^{\circ}

from both sides

π - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) - \frac{π}{2} = 0

Simplify

18 0^{\circ} - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) - 9 0^{\circ} : \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} - 4 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} )}{2}

π - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) - \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

18 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}, 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{2 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} ) 2}{2}

= \frac{π 2}{2} - \frac{2 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} ) \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 2 - 2 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} ) \cdot 2 - π}{2}

18 0^{\circ} 2 - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) \cdot 2 - 18 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ} - 4 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

π 2 - 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) \cdot 2 - π

Add similar elements:

36 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}

= π - 2 \cdot 2 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= π - 4 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

= \frac{π - 4 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} )}{2}

\frac{π - 4 arccos ( \frac{2 a}{c} )}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

π - 4 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = 0

Solve by substitution

π - 4 arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = 0

Let:

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = u

18 0^{\circ} - 4 u = 0

18 0^{\circ} - 4 u = 0 : u = 4 5^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} - 4 u = 0

Move

18 0^{\circ}

to the right side

18 0^{\circ} - 4 u = 0

Subtract

18 0^{\circ}

from both sides

18 0^{\circ} - 4 u - 18 0^{\circ} = 0 - 18 0^{\circ}

Simplify

- 4 u = - 18 0^{\circ}

- 4 u = - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 u = - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 4

\frac{- 4 u}{- 4} = \frac{- 18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 4}

Simplify

u = 4 5^{\circ}

u = 4 5^{\circ}

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

Substitute back

u = arccos (\frac{2 a}{c})

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

arccos (\frac{2 a}{c}) = \frac{π}{4}

Let:

u = \frac{2 a}{c}

18 0^{\circ} - 4 arccos (u) = 0

Move

18 0^{\circ}

to the right side

18 0^{\circ} - 4 arccos (u) = 0

Subtract

18 0^{\circ}

from both sides

18 0^{\circ} - 4 arccos (u) - 18 0^{\circ} = 0 - 18 0^{\circ}

Simplify

- 4 arccos (u) = - 18 0^{\circ}

- 4 arccos (u) = - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 arccos (u) = - 18 0^{\circ}

Divide both sides by

- 4

\frac{- 4 arccos ( u )}{- 4} = \frac{- 18 0 ^{\circ}}{- 4}

Simplify

arccos (u) = 4 5^{\circ}

arccos (u) = 4 5^{\circ}

Apply trig inverse properties

arccos (u) = 4 5^{\circ}

arccos (x) = a \Rightarrow x = cos (a)

u = cos (4 5^{\circ})

cos (4 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}

u = \frac{2}{2}

u = \frac{2}{2}

Substitute back

u = \frac{2 a}{c}

\frac{2 a}{c} = \frac{2}{2} : a = \frac{c}{2 2}; c \neq = 0

\frac{2 a}{c} = \frac{2}{2}

Apply radical rule:

a = a a

2 = 22

\frac{2 a}{c} = \frac{2}{2 2}

Cancel the common factor:

\frac{2 a c}{c} = \frac{1 \cdot c}{2}; c \neq = 0

Simplify

2 a = \frac{1 \cdot c}{2}; c \neq = 0

2 a = \frac{1 \cdot c}{2}; c \neq = 0

Divide both sides by

2; c \neq = 0

2 a = \frac{1 \cdot c}{2}; c \neq = 0

Divide both sides by

2; c \neq = 0

\frac{2 a}{2} = \frac{\frac{1 \cdot c}{2}}{2}; c \neq = 0

Simplify

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c} = \frac{a}{b \cdot c}

= \frac{c}{2 \cdot 2}

= \frac{c}{2 2}

a = \frac{c}{2 2}; c \neq = 0

a = \frac{c}{2 2}; c \neq = 0

a = \frac{c}{2 2}; c \neq = 0
