Answer:
BC ≈ 17.0 (neither Crow nor Toad is correct)
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side ratio of (2+4)/4 = 3/2 suggests BC is 3/2 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (3/2)(11) = 16.5, as Crow says.
The right-side ratio of (5+9)/9 = 14/9 suggests that BC 9 is 14/9 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (14/9)(11) = 154/9 = 17 1/9 ≈ 17.1, as Toad says.
The different ratios of the two sides (3/2 vs 14/9) tell you that the triangles are NOT similar, so the length of BC cannot be found by referring to the ratios of the given sides.
Rather, the Law of Cosines must be invoked, first to find angle A (109.471°), then to use that angle to compute the length of BC given the side lengths AB and AC. That computation gives BC ≈ 16.971. (See the second attachment.)
Answer:
- as written, -57
- as perhaps intended, C. -11
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression shown evaluates as ...
7 + 32(-5 +1)/2 = 7 +32(-4)/2 = 7 -128/2 = 7 -64 = -57
_____
If we assume your "32" is supposed to be 3², or 3^2, then the expression evaluates differently:
7 +3²(-5 +1)/2 = 7 + 9(-4)/2 = 7 -36/2 = 7 -18 = -11 . . . . matches choice C
_____
When in doubt, you can have the Google calculator evaluate your expression. However, you do have to write it properly and with all the required parentheses.
