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:

cos(40) = \frac{3.24}{h}

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

$h = \frac{3.24}{cos(40)}$

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.

If w= the weight of trout. Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below?
konstantin123 [22]

Product means multiplication.

Given w= weight of a trout.

So, we need to convert "product of 16 and weight of trout: w " into an algebraic expression.

So, product of 16 and w can be written as 16*w or simply 16w.

Hence, B is the correct choice.
