Find the length of AC round to the nearest hundred
1 answer:
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

One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do
since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get 
, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.
