Answer: x = 50

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of alternative interior angles and the angle sum theorem.

Alternative interior angles are angles that are formed inside the two parallel lines, and the values are equal.

The angle sum theorem implies that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below or let me know.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

AC ║ DE

∠ABC = 85°

∠A = 135°

Find the value of ∠BAC

∠A + ∠BAC = 180° (Supplementary angle)

(135°) + ∠BAC = 180°

∠BAC = 45°

Find the value of ∠BCA

∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180° (Angle sum theorem)

(85°) + (45°) + ∠BCA = 180°

∠BCA = 50°

Find the value of x (∠EBC)

∠EBC ≅ ∠BCA (Alternative interior angles)

Since, ∠BCA = 50°

Therefore, ∠EBC = 50°

$\Large\boxed{x=50}$

Hope this helps!! :)

1 (15 Points]. Prove the following statement: is divisible by 3 if only if it is a sum of three consecutive integers. be ddvisbk

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

First. Let us prove that the sum of three consecutive integers is divisible by 3.

Three consecutive integers can be written as k, k+1, k+2. Then, if we denote their sum as n:

n = k+(k+1)+(k+2) = 3k+3 = 3(k+1).

So, n can be written as 3 times another integer, thus n is divisible by 3.

Second. Let us prove that any number divisible by 3 can be written as the sum of three consecutive integers.

Assume that n is divisible by 3. The above proof suggest that we write it as

n=3(k+1)=3k+3=k + k + k +1+2 = k + (k+1) + (k+2).

As k, k+1, k+2 are three consecutive integers, we have completed our goal.

1/4 of 24 on tape diagram

Lemur [1.5K]

Draw the tape diagram: a long rectangle and divide it into 4 squares in a row.The whole rectangle represents 24 (as a whole number), you're dividing it into 4 parts because you want to know what is 1/4 of it.Now, to find the value of each square: 24:4 = 6.Put the number 6 in each square, and you have found your result.1/4 of 24 is 6.

In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure

soldi70 [24.7K]

Given:

In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle.

To find:

The measures of the 2 acute angles of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the measure of one acute angle. Then the measure of another acute is (2x+12).

According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So,

$x+(2x+12)+90=180$
