Answer: Choice A) 53 degrees

======================================================

Check out the attached image. Notice how I'm only focusing on the triangle. I have erased any other extra lines or unneeded info. We have the opposite side 16 and the hypotenuse 20. We'll use the sine ratio and the arcsine function as well. On your calculator, the arcsine function is "arcsin" or it might be labeled "sin^(-1)"

Let x = measure of angle ACB

sine = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(angle ACB) = (height)/(length of ladder)

sin(x) = 16/20

sin(x) = 4/5

sin(x) = 0.8

x = arcsin(0.8)

x = 53.130102354156

x = 53 when rounded to the nearest whole number

So that's why angle ACB is roughly 53 degrees

Evaluate for m 32, n = 2, p = 8 and r = 4 (np + r) m​
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

If m= 32 then the answer is 320

If you're looking to find m then the answer is m= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 + 8)32

(10)32

320

(2+8)m

set it equal to 0

(2+8)m=0

(10)m=0

-10

m= -10

Solve for b -233=6(3+7b)+1 a. -10 b. -3 c. -6 d. -13
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-233 = 6(3+7b) +1

-233 = 18 + 42b +1

-233 - 18 - 1 = 42b

-252 = 42b

-252/42 = b

b = -6
