Answer:

  x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
  • consecutive interior angles where parallel lines meet a transversal are supplementary

__

Triangle OBQ is isosceles, so angle OQB = 40°. Triangle OPQ is isosceles, so angle OQP is x. The sum of angles OQB and OQP is angle BQP, which is supplementary to angle OPQ. That is, ...

  (40° +x) +x = 180°

  2x = 140° . . . . . . subtract 40°

  x = 70° . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

There are many ways to find x. The one shown here is just one of them. In general, right triangles, isosceles triangles, symmetry, inscribed angles can all be used to write relations involving the known angles and x.

Rama09 [41]
If the test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

If the test is 97% accurate for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97% of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is a false positive.
