The measure of angle <em>x </em> is 31 degrees.
See the attached drawing.
Start at the bottom, at the given 59° angle, and work your way up in the direction toward the angle <em>x </em>.
140 * 0.15 = 21
15% of 140 is 21
The answer to these two questions are not the same. We don't agree with Noah.
Reason:
Let's start with the first question.
1. Given: rate = 10% increase, base/original number = 550 bison
10% of 550 is:

10% of 550 is 55. Hence, there is an increase of 55 bison this year. This year, there are 550 + 55 = 605 bison in the herd.
2. Given: rate = 10% decrease, percentage/final number = 550 bison
Applying the concept of Percentage = Base x Rate, we can get the Base or the original number of bison before the decrease by dividing Percentage over Rate.

Filling in the formula with the given values in question 2, we have:

Last year, there were 611 bison.
As we can see, the answer for number 1 is 605 bison while the answer for the number 2 is 611 bison. The answer of the two questions are not the same.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(Let the point where the altitude from
intersects
be called as point
.) First, let's find the area of parallelogram
. The area of a parallelogram is simply
, where
is the parallelogram's base and
is the parallelogram's height. If we let
and
be the base and height respectively, since we are already given their lengths, we know that the area of parallelogram
will be
.
Now, how does this information matter, you might ask? Well, we can take either
<em>or </em>
to be the base and either
or
to be the height. In this case, let's take the latter two options, as we are looking to find the length of
.
Therefore, we know that the area of parallelogram
can also be found by calculating
. Since we know the values of the area and
, we can write the following equation to solve for
:

(Substitute
and
into the equation)
(Divide both sides of the equation by
to get rid of
's coefficient)
(Simplify)
(Symmetric Property of Equality)
