Answer:

  D. m∠a=139°, m∠b=23°, m∠c=18°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multiple-choice question that can be answered simply by considering the reasonableness of the answers.

__

The expression for ∠a suggests it will be by far the largest of the angles, eliminating choices A and C.

No angle in a triangle is more than 180°, eliminating choice B.

The expression for ∠b suggests it will have a measure less than 31°. This confirms choice D as the correct one.

  m∠a=139°, m∠b=23°, m∠c=18°

__

If you want to work the problem, you use the fact that the sum of angles is 180°

  ∠a +∠b +∠c = 180°

  (40x -21)° +(31 -2x)° +(x +14)° = 180°

  39x +24 = 180 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

  39x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 24

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 39

Then the measures of the angles are ...

  ∠a = (40×4 -21)° = 139°

  ∠b = (31 -2×4)° = 23°

  ∠c = (4 +14)° = 18°

Answer???? Angle 1, and angle 2. I need help
REY [17]
M> 1 + m>2 = 90°
x-12 + 5x = 90°
6x - 12 = 90°
6x -12 +12 = 90°+12
6x = 102
6x/6 = 102/6
x = 17

m>1 = x-12
m>1 = 17-12
m>1 = 5

m>2 = 5x
m>2 = 5(17)
m>2 = 85

Consider this equation. cos(theta) = (-2√5)/5. If theta is an angle in quadrant II, what is the value of sin(theta)? NO LINKS!!!
vlada-n [284]
  • In second quadrant sin and cosec are positive

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-cos^2\theta

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-(\dfrac{-2\sqrt{5}}{5})^2

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-\dfrac{20}{25}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=\dfrac{5}{25}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin\theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

Ethan writes 2/3 of a page in 5/12 of a minute. How much time does it take him to write one page
Nataliya [291]
2/3 of a page in 5/12 of a minute

Multiply both fractions by 3/2

\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1

\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}

So, Ethan can read 1 page in 5/8 of a minute.
