Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The <u><em>incenter</em></u> is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle meet

therefore

In this problem

(5x-9)\°=16\°

Solve for x

5x=16+9

5x=25

x=5

The value of x is 5

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about trigonometry in mathematics.

Suppose the ΔABC is a right triangle and ∠A is 90°.

<h3>sin ∠A = opposite / hypotenuse</h3><h3>cos ∠A = adjacent / hypotenuse</h3><h3>tan ∠A = opposite / adjacent </h3>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<em>The incenter of triangle RST</em><em> is the intersection between all of the angle bisectors from the three vertices of triangle.</em>

<em>From the attachment , it can be concluded that:</em>

∠ZAS = ∠ZBS = 90°

∠ZSA = ∠ZSB

ZS of ΔZSA is coincided with ZS of ΔZSB

<em>∴ </em><em>ΔZSA is congruent to ΔZSB</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>From the information above , then :</em>

∠ZSA = ∠ZSB

( 5x - 9 )° = ( 16 )°

5x = 16 + 9

5x = 25

x = 25 ÷ 5

<h3>x = 5</h3>

\texttt{ }

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

The value of x is 5

Writing an Equation from a Graph
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{2-0}{0-(-2)} = \frac{2}{0+2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2 ) ⇒ c = 2

y = x + 2 ← equation of line

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?
Setler [38]
For this type of problem you would have to move the decimal as many places to the right as needed to make the divisor a whole number the you would move the dividend the same amount of times even if it is a whole number . Then you use what you have to divide normally. Hope this helps!
