Answer:

if a=b and b=c, then a=c

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically the transitive property states that is a number, a, equals another number, b, a = b, and the other number, b, equals a different number, c, b = c, then technically since a and b are equal, and b and c are equal, a could also equal c, a = c.

Step-by-step explanation:

law of cosine :

c² = a² + b² - 2ab×cos(C)

with c being the side opposite of C.

so, in our case

3² = 3² + 3²×3 - 2×3×3×sqrt(3)×cos(A)

0 = 3²×3 - 18×sqrt(3)×cos(A)

27 = 18×sqrt(3)×cos(A)

cos(A) = 27/(18×sqrt(3)) = 3/(2×sqrt(3)) =

= 0.866025404...

A = 30°

FYI : since it is an isoceles triangle, C = A = 30°.

and therefore B = 180 - 30 - 30 = 120°.

as the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

If 3/2 divided by 1/4 =n , then n is between

kari74 [83]

OK, this written in numbers is

$\frac{3/2}{1/4} =n$

But, fractions can not divide. So we need to multiply one by the reciprocal of the other. The reciprocal of a fraction is itself flipped upside down. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1.

So, we will multiply 3/2 by 4/1. We know how to do this, it is simply 3/2*4=12/2=6.

So, the answer is n = 6. That would be answer c, because 6 is between 5 and 7.
