Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan A =
=
=
, then
∠ A =
(
) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )
The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then
∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°
∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )
∠ B = 49°
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )
AB =
≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
So for order of operations you start inside the parentheses and in order to add the insides you will need a common denominator which would be 15 on the bottom. So for 2/5 it would be 6/15 and for 11/3 would be 55/15 and then added together it would be 61/15. so then you would multiply and get 15(61/15). the 15 in the numerator will cancel with the denominator leaving only 61 and then the final step would be adding the 3 to 61 and the final answer will be 64
