Because ∠A=40°, therefore ∠B + ∠C = 180.

To create two triangles, we could make a = 10 in.

From the Law of Sines,
a/sinA = b/sinB.
 
Therefore
10/sin(40) = 15/sin(B)
sin(B) = (15/10)*sin(40) = 0.9642
∠B = arcsin(0.9642) = 74.6°

Because the sine function is positive in quadrants 1 and 2, we could also have ∠B = 180 - 74.6 = 105.4°.
This means that
a/sin(105.4) = 15/sin(40°)
a = [sin(105.4)/sin(40)]*15 = 22.5 in

Answer:
We could have a = 10 in, or a = 22.5 in

Sammie read at the rate of 25 pages per hour. Alex read at the rate of 1/2 of a pages per minute. Who was reading faster? By how
exis [7]

Answer:

Alex is reading faster by 5 more pages per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex's rate of reading is 1/2 pages per minute, or 1 page every 2 minutes. To convert his rate to pages per hour, we can divide 60 (minutes in an hour) by 2 (minutes it takes Alex to read a page) which is equal to 30 (pages read in an hour). Therefore, Alex is reading at 30 pages an hour and reading 5 more pages an hour than Sammie.
