-converting to a common denominator
The terms -c of the left side was converted to -4ac/4a to have the same denominator of b^2/4a.
Your simplified answer is indeed 2/3 (or 60%, or 0.6) because the fraction 24/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which leaves you with 2/3.
Answer:
cos^(-1)(12/13) = 22.62°
Step-by-step explanation:
Inverse trig functions are used to find angles. I was taught SOH CAH TOA: sine = opposite/hypotenuse, cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse, tan = opposite / adjacent.
Here, we have an adjacent side length and the hypotenuse. So we use inverse cosine.
6 + 12 = 18
18 + 24 = 42
Double the difference between every 2 numbers (12 x 2 = 24 x 2 = 8)
42 + 48 = 90
90 is the missing number
