Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

BC =<br> Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.<br> B<br> 50°<br> 7
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

BC = 5.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = 50°

Side Opposite to reference angle = 7

Adjacent side = BC = ?

Apply trigonometric function, TOA, thus:

Tan 50 = Opp/Adj

Tan 50 = 7/BC

BC × Tan 50 = 7

BC = 7/Tan 50

BC = 5.87369742 ≈ 5.87 (nearest hundredth)

The qoutient of any two nonzero integers is an integer. True or false
guapka [62]
False.

Here is a counterexample.

3/4= 0.75

3 and 4 are both integers but the quotient is 0.75 which is not an integer. 0.75 is a rational number.

Sandi did not follow PEMDAS. She added before multiplying and dividing. Her answer should be 18 because 6 • 4 = 24, 2 / 2 = 1, 24 + 1 = 25, 25 - 7 = 18

While visiting Wallawulla State​ Park, Joe approximated the angle of elevation to the top of a mound to be 40 degrees . After wa
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Height of mound = 794 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To illustrate the angle of elevation and distance, i have drawn it and attached below.

Now, from my diagram;

h = the height of the mound

At his first point of his trip to the foot of the mound, the angle of elevation is 40°, while the horizontal distance to the foot of the mound is "X"

So, by triangle definition,

tan(40°) = h/x

And so;

h = x tan40

h = 0.8391x  - - - - (eq 1)

At his second point of the trip to the foot of the mound, Joe is now,

"(x - 450) ft" from the foot of the mound.

Thus, his angle of elevation is 40 + 18 = 58°.

So, by triangle definition,

tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)

h = (x - 450)•(tan(58°))

h = 1.6003(x - 450)

h = 1.6003x - 720.135   - - - - -(eq2)

To get the height(h) of the mound, let's equate (eq1) to (eq2).

0.8391x = 1.6003x - 720.135

1.6003x - 0.8391x = 720.135

0.7612x = 720.135

x = 720.135/0.7612

x = 946.0523 ft

Let's put this value for x in eq (1);

h = 0.8391 x 946.0523 = 793.83 ft ≈ 794ft
