I think the answer might be B
Answer:
32.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that we have two right triangles joined together, with one having adjacent side a, with a side of 12 ft opposite reference angle 30°, and the other one having adjacent side b, with a side of 12 ft opposite reference angle 45°. Thus, a + b = length of AC.
Let's find a and b.
Finding a:
Reference angle = 30°
Opp = 12 ft
Adj = a
Using trigonometric ratio formula, we have:
tan(30) = 12/a
Multiply both sides by a
a*tan(30) = 12
Divide both sides by tan(30)
a = 12/tan(30)
a = 20.78 (nearest hundredth)
Finding b:
Reference angle = 45°
Opp = 12 ft
Adj = b
Using trigonometric ratio formula, we have:
tan(45) = 12/b
Multiply both sides by a
b*tan(45) = 12
Divide both sides by tan(45)
b = 12/tan(45)
a = 12
Length of AC = 20.78 + 12 = 32.78
The answer is A. I hope I helped

um
requires some trial and error
erm
ah hah
what 2 numbers multiply to get 16 and add to get -8
-4 and -4
(x-4y)(x-4y)
(x-4y)²
