Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

tanA = 0.45

tanA= $\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

= $\dfrac{BC}{AC}$

⇒ $\dfrac{BC}{AC}$ =0.45

⇒ $\dfrac{9}{AC}$ = $\dfrac{45}{100}$

⇒ $\dfrac{9}{AC}$ = $\dfrac{9}{20}$

⇒ AC= 20

Hence, by pythagoras theorem

AB²=AC²+BC²

AB²=20²+9²

AB²=481

⇒ AB=21.9 units

Hence, the approximate length of AB is:

22 units

How do you convert 3.16 (6 repeating) to a fraction?

lutik1710 [3]

Suppose $x=3.1\overline6$ . Then $10x=31.\overline6$ , and $100x=316.\overline6$ .

Now,

$100x-10x=316.\overline6-31.\overline6=316-31$

$\implies90x=285$

$\implies x=\dfrac{285}{90}=\boxed{\dfrac{19}6}$
