The BAC of the female is an illustration of proportion

The BAC after consuming the three drinks is 0.029w
The BAC three hours after consuming the drinks is 0.087 w

<h3>How to calculate the BAC?</h3>

BAC is calculated using:

BAC = Alcohol consumed/(Body Weight * R)

The weight is given as:

Body weight = 140 lb

Convert to kg

Body weight = 63.5 kg

For female

R = 0.55

So, we have:

BAC = Alcohol/(63.5 * 0.55)

BAC = Alcohol/34.925

BAC = 0.029Alcohol

The weight or volume of the alcohol consumed is given.

So, we represent it with w.

BAC = 0.029w

Hence, the BAC after consuming the three drinks is 0.029w

<h3>How to calculate the BAC after 3 hours?</h3>

We have:

BAC1 = 0.029w

Time (t) = 3 hours

The BAC after 3 hours is

BAC = BAC1 * (t - 0.015)

So, we have:

BAC = 0.029w * (3 - 0.015)

Evaluate the product

BAC = 0.087w

Hence, the BAC three hours after consuming the drinks is 0.087 w

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
