Answer:

2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Given diagram:

In ΔABC,

AC=2.5 miles

BC= 3.7 miles

∠BCA= 39.4°

Now as we have two sides and an angle, using law of cosines to find the third side:

c= √(a^2+b^2-2abcosα

AB=√(AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)cosα

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)cos(39.4°)

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)(0.77)

   =√(5.695)

     = 2.38 !

What’s the equivalent expression
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

9 (2 a - 3)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(6 a - 9)^2

Hint: | Factor out the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of 6 a - 9.

Factor 3 out of 6 a - 9:

(3 (2 a - 3))^2

Hint: | Distribute exponents over products in (3 (2 a - 3))^2.

Multiply each exponent in 3 (2 a - 3) by 2:

3^2 (2 a - 3)^2

Hint: | Evaluate 3^2.

3^2 = 9:

Answer: 9 (2 a - 3)^2

Simplify 4/6+x/3+3/2
Ronch [10]
4/6=2/3
2/3+x/3+3/2
apply rule a/c+-b/c=(a+-b)/c
(2+x)/3+3/2 is your final answer
remove the parenthesis if you want i was just trying to show 2+x over 3
