On which triangle can the law of cosines be applied once to find an unknown angle measure? Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) Triangle X W Y is shown. Angle X Y W is a right angle. The length of hypotenuse W X is y, the length of X Y is a, and the length of W Y is 9. Triangle W X Y is shown. Sides W X and X Y are congruent. The length of W Y is 7. Triangle W X Y is shown. Angle X Y W is 76 degrees. The length of X Y is 5, the length of W Y is 10, and the length of W X is y. Triangle W X Y is shown. The length of W X is 10, the length of X Y is 8, and the length of W Y is 16.

C) Angle X Y W is 76 degrees. The length of X Y is 5, the length of W Y is 10, and the length of W X is y.

Step-by-step explanation:

On which triangle can the law of cosines be applied once to find an unknown angle measure?

The Law of cosines is given as:

a² = b² + c² - 2bccos(A)

From the options given above, the correct option is Option C

C) Angle X Y W is 76 degrees. The length of X Y is 5, the length of W Y is 10, and the length of W X is y.

This is because:

Law of Cosines helps us to find an unknown side of a triangle when we are given 2 known sides and 1 angle.

In the above question, we are given angle 76 degree, and the length of two sides: The length of X Y is 5, the length of W Y is 10

The unknown side is the length of W X which is represented as y.

Hence, Option C is the correct option.
