3/16=5/x
times both sides by 16x (aka cross multiply
3x=5*16
3x=80
divide both sides by 3
x=80/3
x=26 and 2/3
the missing number is 80/3 or 26 and 2/3
Angles 1, 3, and 4 make up a straight line.
Thus, 3x + 90 + 3x - 6 = 180 (angle sum of straight line)
6x - 6 = 90
6x = 96
x = 16
Now angle 1 becomes 3(16) = 48
Angle 1, 2, and 3 also make up a straight line.
Thus, angle 2 + 48 + 90 = 180
angle 2 + 138 = 180
angle 2, therefore, becomes 42. In essence, (A)
If it’s to the nearest tenth it’s 1.4 if it’s the nearest hundredth 1.42
Maria. You can check by dividing 8 into 3 and 3 into 8.
