OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 48 or 42? or something else?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

It cannot be 48 or 42 because angle ABC is an acute angle (<90). This angle is obtuse. So you need to find the obtuse angle measurement which is >90.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 138?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

It can be. Do you have the options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I can't give you the precise measurement, but since this is an obtuse angle and 138 is greater than 90.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay
