As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head.  I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.

The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.

To find angle-B, the law of cosines says

       b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)

B  =  angle-B
b  =  the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9

                  (1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)

                 1.96  =  (1) + (3.61)  -  (3.8) cos(B)

Add  3.8 cos(B)  from each side:

                 1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61

Subtract  1.96  from each side:

                             3.8 cos(B) =  2.65

Divide each side by  3.8 :

                                  cos(B)  =  0.69737  (rounded)

Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
                                 B  = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737

                                      =  45.784° .

Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...

By gosh !  Choice 'B' is  45.8° !                    yay !
I'll bet that's it !

Answer:

B/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeez better not get this wrong... anyway, to start off the total is 19 books. Adding 5 then adding 3, She returned 8 books to the 19 she checked out. Uhhhh no clear answer.

NOT the first one cause 8 isn't the total. Don't think it would be the last one cause that's no fun. So it's either the second or the third one. The third one also makes no sense cause it only includes the returns from yesterday. I'm going with the second one
