Ori is building a bookshelf with 8 shelves. she uses 48 screws for the shelves. she puts the same number of screws into each shelf. how many screws does lori put into each shelf? answer options with 4 options a. 4 b. 6 c. 7 d. 8

Using the law of cosines:

Angle A

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 * b * c * cos(Angle A)

32^2 = 38^2 + 46^2 - 2 * 38 * 46 * cos(Angle A)

1024 = 1444 + 2116 - 3496 * cos(Angle A)

3496 * cos(Angle A) = 1444 + 2116 - 1024

3496 * cos(Angle A) = 2536

cos(Angle A) = 2536 / 3496

Angle A = arccos(2536 / 3496)

Angle A = 43.5 degrees.

Using the same steps calculate angle b and angle c ( rearrange the formula to have b^2 and c^2 equal to:

Angle b = 54.8 degrees

Angle C = 81.7 degrees.

The answer is A. A = 43.5°: B = 54.8°: C= 81.70
