What is the measure of angle 1?

Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The easy way is by remembering the formula (a-b)/2=c, where a is the larger angle, and b is the smallest angle. (90-36)/2=27.

The longer, more drawn out answer goes as follows. See the image to understand the notation I use:

  1. AOE + BOD + BOA + DOE = 360
  2. AOE + BOD = 90 + 36 = 126
  3. BOA + DOE = 360 - AOE - BOD = 234
  4. Since the sum of a triangle's angles is 180, ODE = (180 - DOE) / 2
  5. Likewise, OBA = (180 - BOA) / 2
  6. Since CDE is 180, CDO = 180 - ODE = 180 - (180 - DOE) / 2
  7. Likewise, CBA is 180, so CBO = 180 - OBA = 180 - (180 - BOA) / 2
  8. The interior angles of the irregular polygon CBOD add up to 360, so CBO + CDO + BOD + BCD = 360.
  9. Substituting what we already found, 180 - (180 - BOA)/2 + 180 - (180 - DOE)/2 + 36 + BCD = 360
  10. Cleaning it all up, we get 180 + (BOA + DOE)/2 + 36 + BCD = 360
  11. As we found in line 3, BOA + DOE = 234, so substituting that in, 180 + 117 + 36 + BCD = 360
  12. Finally, solving for BCD (360 - 36 - 117 - 180) we get our answer, 27

Note: The long drawn out method shown above is a way to derive the formula for the secant theorem. You do not need to use this method every time. Just remember, large angle minus small angle, all divided by 2. That is it.

5(-5x - 2) = 10(-5x+4)
natulia [17]

Answer:

5(-5x - 2) =

-25x - 10

10(-5x+4) =

-50x + 40

-25x-10 = -50x+40

-25x = -50x + 50

25x = 50

x = 2

Terry and Bob each have an aquarium. Terry’s aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide. Bob’s aquarium is 13 cm long, 1
MArishka [77]

Find the volume of each tank by multiplying the length by the width by the height:

Terry: 14 x 12 x 10 = 1680 cubic cm.

Bob: 13 x 15 x 8 = 1560 cubic cm

Terry’s aquarium is larger and can hold more water.

Round to the merest hundredth389.993
kvasek [131]
What's a hundredth?

it's like this:

0.01

so where is the hundred place in this number?

389.9<em>9</em>3

it's the 9 that i made boldface

so to round to this number we delete everything after it, asking ourselves if the number after it is 4 or less? yes! so we can just delete it without changing anyway

I Need The Answer Plz Geometry Is Hard!!
otez555 [7]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the midline joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and half as long, so

FB = EC/2

2x - 6 = 44/2

2x - 6 = 22

2x = 22 + 6

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14
