Mathematics

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.

a triangular flower bed needs a thin metal border all the way around it. The sides are 7 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet long.
kotegsom [21]
Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
Hope this was helpful.

Find all real zeros of t<br>f(x)=x-14x² + 47x-18​
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

x=3/7 and x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify:

-14 x^2 +48x -18

divide everything by -2

-2(7 x^2 -24x +9) (Multiply the leading coefficient 7 by the constant 9)

-2 (x^2 -24x +63)

-2 [(x-3)(x-21)] Now divide the 7 that you multiplied earlier from 3 and 21

-2 [(x-3/7)(x-21/7)]

-2 [(7x-3)(x-3)]

Hence, the zeroes are 3/7 and 3

Hope this helps!

If you think I helped, Please mark brainliest! Would really appreciate!
