The answer is 1.7m because 0.9 isnt bigger
Recall the sum identity for cosine:
cos(a + b) = cos(a) cos(b) - sin(a) sin(b)
so that
cos(a + b) = 12/13 cos(a) - 8/17 sin(b)
Since both a and b terminate in the first quadrant, we know that both cos(a) and sin(b) are positive. Then using the Pythagorean identity,
cos²(a) + sin²(a) = 1 ⇒ cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 15/17
cos²(b) + sin²(b) = 1 ⇒ sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 5/13
Then
cos(a + b) = 12/13 • 15/17 - 8/17 • 5/13 = 140/221
The closest i can think of that makes since is 1560=30(52)+b, mainly because
30 x 52 = 1560 so that's what i think it is and if im wrong sry.
We know that 75=5*5*3 so
5*5*3 times 5=125*3=375 then move the decimal place two places to the left (divide by 100) and get 3.75
or you could note that 0.75=3/4 so
3/4 times 5=
15/4
simplified=3 and 3/4
