A partial proof was constructed given that MNOP is a parallelogram.
Yanka [14]
A diagram of parallelogram MNOP is attached below

We have side MN || side OP and side MP || NO

Using the rule of angles in parallel lines, ∠M and ∠P are supplementary as well as ∠M and ∠N.

Since ∠M+∠P = 180° and ∠M+∠N=180°, we can conclude that ∠P and ∠N are of equal size. 

∠N and ∠O are supplementary by the rules of angles in parallel lines
∠O and ∠P are supplementary by the rules of angles in parallel lines

∠N+∠O=180° and ∠O+∠P=180°

∠N and ∠P are of equal size

we deduce further that ∠M and ∠O are of equal size

Hence, the correct statement to complete the proof is

<span>∠M ≅ ∠O; ∠N ≅ ∠P

</span>

The total amount of money earned by all three plumbers on Monday was $1,400. On Tuesday they earned a total of $1,660, and on We
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Set of equations that can be used to calculate rate for each plumber:
2A+8B+8C = 1,400 --- (1)
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 --- (2)
3A+9B+9C = 1,660 --- (3)
------------------------------------
2*(1) - (2)
------------------------------------
4A+16B+16C = 2,800
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 -
------------------------------------
       9B+6C = 1,140 --- (4)
------------------------------------
3(2) -4(3)
-----------------------------------
12A+21B+30C = 4,980
12A+36B+36C = 6,600 -
-----------------------------------
         -15B-6C = -1,620 --- (5)
------------------------------------
(4) + (5)
------------------------------------
9B+6C = 1140
-15B-6C = -1620 +
-------------------------------------
-6B = -480 => 6B = 480 => B = 480/6 = 80
-------------------------------------------------------
Using (4), 9(80)+6C = 1140
720+6C = 1140 => 6C = 1140-720 = 420 => C = 420/6 = 70
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using (1), 2A+8(80)+8(70) = 1400
2A+640+560 =1400 => 2A = 1400-640-560 = 200 => A = 200/2 = 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rates are:
A = $100
B = $80
C = $70
--------------------------------
On Thursday, number of calls: A = 4 hrs, B = 6 hrs, C = 3 hrs
Money earned = 4*100+6*80+3*70 = $1,090

scoray [572]
\frac{7 \pi }{6} is in the 3rd quadrant... (It is also 210 degrees)
To find the reference angle (which is the distance to the x-axis)
\frac{7 \pi }{6} - \pi = \frac{ \pi }{6}  (or 30 degrees)

sin \frac{ \pi }{6} = \frac{1}{2}
