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 researcher wants to determine if consuming oatmeal regularly reduces the level of bad cholesterol. She finds 120 adults over
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

An experimental research and particularly a quasi experimental study.

Step-by-step explanation:

An <em>experimental research</em> is one where the investigator study the effects from random samples he got and tested. the investigator manipulates parameters to considers some underlying factors in order to arrive at a conclusion. it is usually used to investigate relationships between variable and make comparison. In this case the investigator is conducting a research on how the consumption of oatmeal in adults reduces the level of bad cholesterol,  he measures and study the level of bad cholesterol for 6months and then compare their results.

for example, I can conduct an extensive experimental study on the long term effects of exhaust fumes on the passengers (particularly adults between the ages of 25-50) of public transport in Nigeria. this will be studied and their effects will be compared and a conclusion will be reached on the exposure and the non exposure as the case maybe. most underlying conditions of experimental study are under the direct control of the researcher of the investigator. there are three different types of experimental research ; Pre-experimental study, quasi-experimental study and true-experimental study.

There are 2 boys for every 3 girls. Today 5 new boys were added making the number of girls and boys the same. How many boys and
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

10 boys, 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls

let x be the scale factor of the ratio

2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1

Simplify: 2x+5=3x

Simplify: 5=x

plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15

Check: 10/15 = 2/3

10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
