The simplified fraction is 62/7
Answer: A. 31.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using law of cosine because it is side angle side
a=16
b=21
angle = 116
c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab cosC, let C be the angle given
c^2=(21)^2+(16)^2-2(16)(21) cos(116)
c^2=441+256-672 cos(116)
i used a ti-89 and answered the right side and got
(you can find a ti-89 simulator online, but for problems like this make sure it is in degree mode)
991.585
c^2=991.585
take square root of both sides
=31.4894, which if you round it up it would be 31.5, so the answer would be A
therefore:
a=16
b=21
c=31.5
I believe "BY || JE" means that those two lines are congruent, which means the slope of JE would be the same as the slope of BY. So in this case the answer should be B. -1/5.
I hope this helped.
Pick 1: 3 apples out of 11 pieces of fruit → 3/11
Pick 2: 4 oranges out of 10 pieces of fruit → 4/10 = 2/5
Pick 1 AND Pick 2
3/11 x 2/5 = 6/55
The answer would be, 0.55555555556
hope this helps :-)
