Answer:

A) 19

Step-by-step explanation:

as the angles between intersecting lines are the same at the top and the bottom of such a line (just mirrored left/right), and parallel lines intersect with the same angles, we have

2x + 5 = 3x - 45

5 = x - 45

x = 50

4y - 1 is the supplementary angle (together they have 180°) to e.g. 2x + 5, because the sum of all angles around a single point on one side of a line is always 180° (one side of a line represents a half-circle = 180°).

2x + 5 = 2×50 + 5 = 105°

4y - 1 + 105 = 180

4y + 104 = 180

4y = 76

y = 19

Answer:

A) 19

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 45 = 2x + 5   (alternate interior angles are the same)

→ 3x -2x = -45 + 5  (collecting x terms on LHS and constant on RHS)

→ x = 50

we also have

(4y-1) + (2x-5) = 180    (consecutive interior angles add to 180°

⇒ 2x + 4y -1 + 5 = 180

⇒ 2x + 4y + 4 = 180

⇒ 2x + 4y = 180-4 = 176

Substituting for x = 50

2(50) + 4y = 176

⇒100 + 4y = 176

⇒ 4y = 176-100 = 76

⇒ y = 76/4 = 19

A psychologist wants to know if the difficulty of a task influences our estimate of how long we spend working at it. She designs
Delicious77 [7]

Solution :

It is given that a psychologist wants to determine the difficulty of the task influences on the estimate of how long people spend working on it.

Now we have to describe a experiment by using a completely randomized design and learn the effect of the difficulty on the estimated time is by randomly assigning 15 students to a Group 1 of easy mazes and other 15 students to the second group 2 of hard mazes. And then we compare the time estimates of the two groups.

A boy, who is 5 ft. 6 in. tall, casts a shadow 2 ft long. Find the height of the pole if it casts a shadow 2 yards long.
GalinKa [24]

1 yard = 3 feet

2 yards = 6 feet

2 feet * 3 = 6 feet

 so 5.5 ft * 3 = 16.5 feet, so pole is 16 feet 6 inches

A.) 15.7in<br> B.) 31.4in<br> C.) 40in<br> D.) 62.8in
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

31.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a tricky question,

if you observe the shape carefully, you will notice that if you mirror (flip outward) each curve surface of each quardrant, what you will end up with is a complete circle with a radius of 5 inches.

Hence the combined length of all the curved surfaces is simply the circumference of the circle, given by:

Circumference = 2πr

= 2 x 3.14 x 5

= 31.4 in

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:​
raketka [301]

Answer:

B) (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 7

y = 3x - 8

3x - 8 = -2x + 7

combine like terms:

5x = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 3

y = 3(3) - 8 = 1

What is the measure of angle X? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your answer to the nearest hundredth. ° tr
klemol [59]

I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.

We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.

sin(x) = 84 / 85

x = sin^-1(84/85)

x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)

Hope this helps!! :)
