The <u>correct answer</u> is:

0.08.

Explanation:

To calculate the BAC, we first find the amount of alcohol (in grams) of the drinks.  In the US, a standard drink has 14 g of alcohol.  The man has 2 beers and 1 shot; this is 3 standard drinks:
3*14 = 42

This has 42 g of alcohol.

Next we convert the weight in pounds to grams.  We do this by multiplying by 454:
140*454 = 63560

Next we multiply by the gender constant.  For men, this is 0.68:
63560(0.68) = 43220.8

We divide the grams of alcohol by this number:
42/43220.8 = 0.000972

Multiply this by 100:
0.000972(100) = 0.0972

This is the BAC right after drinking.  To account for the time that has passed, we multiply the number of hours by 0.015:
1(0.015) = 0.015

We subtract this from our immediate BAC:
0.0972-0.015 = 0.0822 ≈ 0.08

Around .8 B.A.C because if you look at scales online a 12 ounce beer is one drink and a 1 1/2 oz. shot is another full drinks. So that's 3 drinks which means its around a .8 for a 140 pound man.

You’re given two side lengths of 10 centimeters and 8 centimeters. The angle between the sides measures 40°. How many triangles
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: Only one.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a triangle two side lengths of 10 centimeters and 8 centimeters. The angle between the sides measures 40°.

Suppose there is also a triangle with the same measures.

Then both the triangles are congruent by SAS congruence postulate.

Thus, every triangle with the given measurement are congruent to each other by SAS postulate.

Therefore, only one triangle can be possible with the given measurement.
