Question

Find the length of AC round to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. 9.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of line AB, we must first of all calculate the value of θ as shown in the attached photo.

The value of θ can be obtained as follow:

θ + 39° + 120° = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

θ + 159° = 180°

Collect like terms

θ = 180° – 159°

θ = 21°

Thus, we can obtain the length of line AB by using sine rule as illustrated below:

b/Sine B = c/Sine C

b = 16

Angle B = 39°

Sine C = 21°

c =?

b/Sine B = c/Sine C

16/Sine 39° = c/Sine 21°

Cross multiply

c × Sine 39° = 16 × Sine 21°

Divide both side by Sine 39°

c = (16 × Sine 21°) / Sine 39°

c = 9.11

Therefore, the length of line AB is 9.11
