One angle of a triangle measures 140°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 7:13. What are the measures of those two angles?

1 answer:

7 0

STEP 1:
Triangles= 180°

Other Angles= 7:13= 7x + 13x

Add all the angles to equal 180°

140° + 7x + 13x= 180°
combine like terms

140° + 20x= 180°
subtract 140 from both sides

20x= 40
divide both sides by 20

x= 2

STEP 2:
substitute x value to find other two angles

7x= 7(2)= 14° one angle

13x= 13(2)= 26° other angle

CHECK:
140° + 14° + 26°= 180°
140 + 40= 180
180= 180

ANSWER: The other two angles measure 14° and 26°.

Given - an equation in a standard form

To do - simplify the equation so as to obtain an easier one

Since the equation provided isn't in it's general form , let's first convert it ~

General form of a Linear equation -

$\bold{ax + b = 0}$

The equation after getting converted will be as follows ~

$- 7 + ( \frac{4x + 2}{2} ) = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{ - 14 + 4x + 2}{2} = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 14 + 4x + 2 = 16 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 16 + 14 - 2 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 28 \\ \\\bold{ General \: form \: \dashrightarrow \: 4x - 28 = 0}$

Answer:

Part 1 , not significant

Part II, significant

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a heterozygous white-fruited squash plant is crossed with a yellow-fruited plant, yielding 200 seeds. of these seeds, 110 produce white-fruited plants while only 90 produce yellow-fruited plants

$H_0: Both colours are equally likely\\H_a: Both colours are not equally likely$
