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 !

PLZ HELP ASAP TANGENTS OF CIRCLES PROBLEMS
quester [9]
A circumscribed angle is that which is formed by the intersection of the two tangent lines in a circle. With this, we can conclude that segments AC and AB are tangent to circle O. The tangent lines forms a right angle with the radius of the circle drawn from the center of the circle to the tangent point. 

By the explanation above, we can say that angles C and B are equal to 90° and that triangle ACO and triangle ABO are congruent. Which means that segment AC is equal to segment AB. Thus, the length of AB is also 4.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X -  the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.

Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches

We have to find the percentile

X = 74.2

Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6

P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%

i.e. only 5% are below him in height.

Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.
