Answer:

1. m∠R > 90°

2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

4. m∠R > m∠T

5. m∠R > m∠S

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General strategy</h3>
  1. prove the statement starting from known facts, or
  2. disprove the statement by finding a counterexample

Helpful fact:  Recall that the Triangle Sum Theorem states that m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°.

<u>Option 1.  m∠R > 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding m∠R to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + m∠R > m∠R + m∠S + m∠T

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is 2*m∠R
  2. The right side of the inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression

2* m∠R > 180°

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

m∠R > 90°

So, the first option must be true.

<u>Option 2.  m∠S + m∠T < 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding (m∠S + m∠T) to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + (m∠S + m∠T) >  m∠S + m∠T + (m∠S + m∠T)

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression
  2. The right side of the inequality is 2*(m∠S+m∠T)

Substituting

180° > 2* (m∠S+m∠T)

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

90° > m∠S+m∠T

So, the second option must be true.

<u>Option 3.  m∠S = m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could equal m∠T, it doesn't have to.  

Example 1:  m∠S = m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 160°, and the angles satisfy the original inequality.

Example 2:  m∠S = 15°, and m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 155°, and the angles still satisfy the original inequality.

So, option 3 does NOT have to be true.

<u>Option 4.  m∠R > m∠T</u>

Start with the fact that ∠S is an angle of a triangle, so m∠S cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠S > 0.

Add m∠T to both sides.

(m∠S) + m∠T > (0) + m∠T

m∠S + m∠T > m∠T

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠T.

So, option 4 must be true.

<u>Option 5.  m∠R > m∠S</u>

Start with the fact that ∠T is an angle of a triangle, so m∠T cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠T > 0.

Add m∠S to both sides.

m∠S + (m∠T) > m∠S + (0)

m∠S + m∠T > m∠S

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠S.

So, option 5 must be true.

<u>Option 6.  m∠S > m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could be greater than m∠T, it doesn't have to be.  (See examples 1 and 2 from option 3.)

So, option 6 does NOT have to be true.

A new online music service has a collection of 1,500 songs. It expects to triple the number of songs each year for the next few
Rzqust [24]

Answer: y = (3^(x-1))*1500

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the relationship

y = f(x)

where y is the number of songs, and x is the number of years.

We know that in the first year, x = 1, the site has 1,500 songs.

The next year, x = 2, the number of songs is tripled, then we will have:

1,500*3 = 4500 songs.

The next year, x = 3, we will have: 3*(3*1500) = (3^2)*1500.

when x = 4, the number is tripled again:

3*(3^2)*1500 = (3^3)*1500

We already can see the pattern, for the year x, the site will have:

y = (3^(x-1))*1500 songs.

This is the equation we are looking for.

Arielle is building the wooden framework for the roof of a house. she needs the angle created by the vertical and horizontal boa
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Option A is correct

it is an acute triangle. about 0.8 foot needs to be removed from the 20-foot board to create a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

She want to build a right angle frame

Then to proof it is right angle, we will apply Pythagoras theorem to the sides of the rectangle,

Since the vertical height of board is 12ft

And, the horizontal length of board is 15ft.

Then the beam that support the two beams which also form the hypotenuse is give as

(beam support)²=(horizontal board)²+(vertical board)²

x²=12²+15²

x²=144+225

x²=369

x=√369

x=19.2ft

Then the beam support is 19.2ft

To get the angle of the beam support to the horizontal

Applying trigonometric

Tanθ=opposite / adjacent

Tanθ= vertical / horizontal

Tanθ=12/15

Tanθ=0.8

θ=arctan(0.8)

θ=36.7°

This shows that it is an acute triangle.

We are told that the support beam is 20ft but this is not true because the support beam is calculated to be 19.2ft,

So, 0.8ft must be removed from the 20ft support beam to create the right angle.

Then, the best option is a

we need to cut the support beam by approx 0.8 feet to make right angle between vertical board and horizontal board.
