<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.
The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.
The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.
For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.
Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.
Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.

Answer: The ratio is 2.39, which means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
I suppose that the "legs" of a triangle rectangle are the cathati.
if L is the length of the shorter leg, 2*L is the length of the longest leg.
Now you can remember the relation:
Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)
Then there is one acute angle calculated as:
Tan(θ) = (shorter leg)/(longer leg)
Tan(φ) = (longer leg)/(shorter leg)
And we want to find the ratio between the measure of the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle.
Then we need to find θ and φ.
Tan(θ) = L/(2*L)
Tan(θ) = 1/2
θ = Atan(1/2) = 26.57°
Tan(φ) = (2*L)/L
Tan(φ) = 2
φ = Atan(2) = 63.43°
Then the ratio between the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle is:
R = (63.43°)/(26.57°) = 2.39
This means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
Answer:
$28
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of 20 is 8
20 + 8 = 28
