This can solved using the cosine law which is:
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ
Using the values given from the problem
6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62
And solving for b
36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62
b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.

harina [27]
In order to make this easier, let us convert the fraction into a mixed number. 2 2/3 would become 8/3. Now, let us divide 8 pints by 8/3 cups and we get 24/8 or 3 cups. Therefore, the amount of water that Cary has to use when she makes barbecue sauce with 1 pint of tomato is 3 cups.

Can someone answer this math question for me please and thank you
Olenka [21]

Answer:

There is no direct relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

8/6 = 4/3

16/8= 2/1

32/24= 4/3

If this were directly related, all of these would simplify to the same thing.

The length of each side of a cube is x cm. If x is an interference,why can’t the volume of the cube equal 15 cm
slamgirl [31]

we don't know what the value of "X" is, so therefore, we cannot conclude that it is 15 cm.
