From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.
The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:
where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that
which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.

Answer: Choice A) EF, EG, FG</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
We'll use these two rules
- The smallest side is always opposite the smallest angle
- The largest side is always opposite the largest angle
This only applies to triangles.
EF is the smallest side because the angle G is the smallest angle.
FG is the longest side because it is opposite the largest angle E
That places EG in the middle.
The order of the sides from smallest to largest is EF, EG, FG
The answer is Inductive Reasoning
Answer:
A = 40/n
Therefore, she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total amount of jelly beans To = 3 pounds = 3×16 ounces = 48 ounces
Total amount kept for family Ta = 8 ounces
Total amount given to friends = Ti
Number of friends = n
Amount given to each friend = A
Ti = To - Ta
A = Ti/n = (To-Ta)/n
A = (48 - 8)/n
A = 40/n
Therefore she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.
