Use the Law of Cosine
c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos{\gamma}

527^2=310^2+AB^2-2\times310\times AB\times\cos{48.6^o}
\\AB^2-410\times AB-181,629=0
\\
\\AB= \frac{410+ \sqrt{410^2-4(-181629)} }{2} =678

alukav5142 [94]
Total cards = 52
Total red cards = 26
Total black cards = 26

P(one red and one black) = P(red and then black)+ P(black and then red)
P(one red and one black) =(26/52)(26/51) + (26/52)(26/51)
P(one red and one black) = 26/51 (Answer A)
