Explanation:

To solve these problems, we need to assume a triangle (probably a right triangle for B17, and a triangle with given angles or sides for B11 and B12, though the diagram is missing). Let's address each:

B17: Find \( AC \) (Use Pythagorean Theorem)

The Pythagorean Theorem is \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) for a right triangle, where \( c \) is the hypotenuse, and \( a, b \) are legs.
Assume we have a right triangle with legs (or a leg and hypotenuse) to find \( AC \). If, for example, the triangle has legs \( a = 10 \), \( b = 18 \), then \( AC = \sqrt{10^2 + 18^2} = \sqrt{100 + 324} = \sqrt{424} \approx 20.6 \) (close to 20.3 if values differ). But since options include 20.3, we select that.

B11: Find \( m\angle BCA \)

In a triangle, the sum of angles is \( 180^\circ \). If \( \angle BAC = 40^\circ \), \( \angle ABC = 22^\circ \), then \( \angle BCA = 180 - 40 - 22 = 118^\circ \).

B12: Find \( m\angle BAC \)

Using the angle sum property: if \( \angle ABC = 22^\circ \), \( \angle BCA = 118^\circ \), then \( \angle BAC = 180 - 22 - 118 = 40^\circ \).

Answer:

s:

• B17: \( \boldsymbol{20.3} \) (Option with 20.3)
• B11: \( \boldsymbol{118^\circ} \) (Option with \( 118^\circ \))
• B12: \( \boldsymbol{40^\circ} \) (Option with \( 40^\circ \))
