Nostrana [21]1 year ago

Answer:

A. x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

so, the angle D corresponds to angle T.

therefore, the side BD corresponds to RT.

and CD to ST.

since both triangles are similar, they must have the same angles, and all corresponding sides and other lengths must have the same scaling factor.

so,

RT × f = BD

and the same f must then apply to

ST × f = CD

21 × f = 98

f = 98/21 = 14/3 = 4.666666666...

33 × 14/3 = 15x - 11

11 × 14 = 15x - 11

154 = 15x - 11

15x = 165

x = 11

Solve for<br> a. 7a-2b = 5a+b
Stels [109]
<span>So we have a problem with two unknows and one equation. We have to express one over the other like this: 7a - 2b = 5a + b. First we separate one kind on the left side and the other kind on the right side: 7a - 5a = b + 2b. Then: 2a = 3b. Now we divide both sides by 2 and get: a= 3b/2.</span>

2. The acute angle below has a degree measurement that is one fifth of the degree measure of the obtuse
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Acute angle = 30°

Obtuse angle = 150°

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Let x represent the measurement of the obtuse angle

Obtuse angle = x

Acute angle = ⅕ of x = x/5

Thus:

x + x/5 = 180° (angels on a straight line)

Solve for x

(5x + x)/5 = 180

Multiply both sides by 5

5x + x = 180 × 5

6x = 900

x = 900/6

x = 150

Obtuse angle = 150°

Acute angle = x/5 = 150/5 = 30°

Method 2:

Since acute angle = ⅕ of the obtuse angle, therefore,

Obtuse angle = 5*acute angle

Let acute angle = x

Obtuse angle = 5x

Equation:

5x + x = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Solve for x

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

Acute angle = x = 30°

Obtuse angle = 5x = 5*30 = 150°

Need help asap! Pls
Stels [109]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper right angle is supplement to 130° and a corresponding angle to (3x + 5)

130 + (3x + 5) = 180

3x + 5 = 50

3x = 45

x = 15
