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.

Find the GCF and LCM of each number using any of the methods.​
vodka [1.7K]

The GCF is the smallest shared prime factor for each term.

The LCM is the smallest whole number that both numbers share as multiples.

For example, take #16.

Factors of 25: 1 , 5, 25

Factors of 75: 1 , 3, 5, 15, 25 ,75

The GCF that is shared would then be 25.

The smallest multiple that both share as multiples:

Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, etc.

Multiples of 75: 75, etc.

The LCM that is shared would then be 75.

16) 25 and 75

GCF: 25

LCM: 75

17) 35 and 5

GCF: 5

LCM: 35

18) 27 and 36

GCF: 9

LCM: 108

19) 21 and 56

GCF: 7

LCM: 168

20) 54 and 72

GCF: 18

LCM: 216
