The highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.

<h3>What are inhabitant?</h3>

A person or animal that lives in a place is called as the inhabitant.

Suppose there is this little town with a finite number of people: (1) No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs. (2) No inhabitant has exactly 743 hairs or no hairs at all. (3) There are more inhabitants than there are hairs on the head of any inhabitant.

Let say there are 519 people in the town. and make them stand in a line with increasing number of hairs on their heads. This way, there will be a person on the last, who has no hair.

There are more number of people than the hairs. From bald to 742 hairs, 743 is the limit.

Thus, the highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.

measure a and measure b are vertical angles with measure a = x and measure b = 4x - 30. what is measure a?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

∠a = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of ∠a = x

The measure of ∠b = 4x-30

It is also mentioned that the measure a and measure b are vertical angles. We need to find the value of a.

For vertically opposite angles,

∠a = ∠b

x = 4x-30

or

4x-30=x

Taking like terms together,

4x-x= 30

3x = 30

x = 10

So, the meausre of ∠a is equal to 10°.
