When there are no special grouping symbols, math problems are solved from left to right. Although there are other important rules about the order in which you do the operations (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division) in a math expression or equation, this lesson will focus on grouping symbols. The rest of the order of operations rules will be explained in the Determining Order of Operations lesson. To help prevent confusion as you learn how to use the grouping symbols, this lesson will only use addition and subtraction.
Answer:Here are some more problems to solve.
Calculate the volume of a paperback book with the following dimensions:
Length = 12 cm
Width = 3 cm
Height = 20 cm
Calculate the volume of a steel bar with the following dimensions:
Length = 5 cm
Width = 2 cm
Height = 30 cm
Now determine the density of the steel bar if its mass is 2.34 kg. (Hint: Convert to grams first.)
A cork has a volume of 5.0 cm3 and a mass of 1.2 grams. Calculate its density.
Water has a density of 1 g/cm3. If you placed a cork and a steel paper clip in a jar of water, what do you think would happen? Use your knowledge of density to explain the outcome.

Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines is a² = b²+c²-2bc(cos A).
We will use s in place of a, since it is the unknown side. This makes b and c 8 and 9.
Angle A will be the angle opposite side a, or in this case side s. This makes it 111.
This gives us
s² = 8²+9²-2(8)(9)(cos 111)
s² = 64+81-2(8)(9)(cos 111)
s² = 145-144(cos 111)
s² = 196.605
Take the square root of each side:
√(s²) = √(196.605)
s = 14.02 ≈ 14
7.870 that is the answer since the nearest hundredth
