First combine like terms to get:
-3a + 8 = 17

Solve by subtracting 8 then dividing by -3:
-3a = 9
a = -3

In Triangle A B C, what is the value of x? Triangle A B C. Angle A is 112 degrees. Exterior angle to angle B is 2 x degrees and

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A =112°,

Exterior angle to angle B is 2x, therefore ∠B = 180 -2x (angle on straight line)

Exterior angle to angle C is 2x + 12, therefore ∠C = 180 -(2x +12) (angle on straight line) = 180 - 12 -2x = 168 - 2x

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 (sum o angles in a triangle)

112 + 180 - 2x + 168 - 2x = 180

460 - 4x = 180

4x = 460 - 180 = 280

x = 280/4 = 70

x = 70°

An angle measures 4.3 radians. To the nearest degree, what is the measure of the angle? degrees

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{deg}{rad}=\frac{360}{2\pi}=\frac{180}{\pi}\\ \\ deg=\frac{180rad}{\pi}\\ \\ deg=\frac{180(4.3)}{\pi}\\ \\ deg=\frac{774}{\pi}^o\\ \\ deg\approx 246^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite= (xy) / 2

A = 15.13 × 17 ÷ 2

A = 257.21 ÷ 2

A = 128.605 m2

So a quick explanation

The area of a kite is equal to xy/2 (the formula)

The find x and y you multiply the two totals of the diagoals (4.93+10.2)*(8.5×2)

The the answer you get divided by two ( 257.21÷2=128.605 )
