We are given the angle WON. The letters W, O and N represents points included in the angle. One of these points is the vertex of the angle. It is the point which an angle is measured. For this case, the vertex is point O.
Answer:
<em>p</em> = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Happy to help.
When we have numbers in parenthesis, we generally want to deal with those first. However, we can hit a rough patch when a variable is in there. Consider this:
2(3 + 4) = 2(7), or 14.
But, the two can also be distributed into both numbers in the parenthesis, like this:
2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4
That leaves us with the same answer—14! We can apply this to a variable, and that will help us figure out 9(<em>p</em> - 4), or the left side of your equation you presented.
9(<em>p</em> - 4) = -18
9*<em>p</em> - 9*4 = -18
9<em>p</em> - 36 = -18
Add 36 on both sides to isolate the variable (in this case, <em>p)</em>
9<em>p</em> = -18 + 36
You can also write it like this; 9<em>p</em> = 36 - 18
9<em>p</em> = 18
Divide 9 to isolate <em>p</em>
<em>p</em> = 2
So, we would get (<em>p</em> = 2). Make sure to practice a few more questions like these to really get the hang of it—you'll be using this a lot in the future!
Good luck!
1) 2m - 16 = 2m + 4
2m - 2m = 4 + 16
0 = 20 (no solution)
2) -4(r + 2) = 4(2 - 2r)
-(r + 2) = 2 - 2r
-r - 2 = 2 - 2r
-r + 2r = 2 + 2
r = 4
3) 12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)
60 + 24y = 4y - 6 + 9y
60 + 24y = 13y - 6
24y - 13y = -6 - 60
11y = -66
y = -6
The correct answer would be B.
The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>
be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for
:
We can conclude that the pole is
4.04 meters tall.
