Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
A reciprocal is when a whole number fraction is flipped
Therefore the reciprocal of 7 is 1/7
The path of the car and the limo are straight lines.
To determine the equation of the lines of the paths, the slopes must be determined.
Let m1 = slope of car
m2 = slope of limo
so,
m1 = (7 + 7)/(5 + 2) = 2
m2 = (-5 -9)/(3+4) = -2
therefore the equations are
car:
2x – y = 2(5) –(7)
2x – y = 3
Limo:
2x + y = 2(3) – 5
2x + y = 1
Solving the intersection of the equations (using a calculator)
x = 1
y = -1

As the question say this problem is a practice of the law of cosines!
The law of cosine: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab*cos*c for any side a, b and c
The law can also be written as c=sqrt(a^2+b^2-2abcosc)
Now use this formula!(note cos 100 degrees is about 0.8623)
c=sqrt(15^2+16^2-2*15*16*cos100)
solving this we can MN is about 23.75
Round this to the nearest tenths now!
We get 23.8!
Thus the answer is D
