Find the product ab, if possible.

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of columns of A is equal to the number of rows of B, so multiplication is possible. It works well to have a calculator do this for you. It involves 27 multiplications and 18 additions, tedious at best.

Each product term is the sum of products ...

p[row=i, column=j] = a[i, 1]b[1, j] +a[i, 2]b[2, j] +a[i, 3]b[3, j]

For example, the product term in the 3rd row, 2nd column is ...

p[3, 2] = a[3, 1]b[1, 2] +a[3, 2]b[2, 2] +a[3, 3]b[3, 2]

= (-4)(-5) +(-1)(3) +(-9)(4) = 20 -3 -36

p[3, 2] = -19

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
