Is the pond a rectangle? Can you post a pic?
Answer:
a=-9 b=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
a(3-x) = - 2x+b
a3 - ax = - 2x+b
a3 - 2a = - 4+b
If you take a=-9
-27+18=-4+b
b= -5
Answer:
Decagon
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the general equation to determine the sum of interior angles:

Since we know the sum of interior angles (I.A.) is 1440°, we must figure out n - the number of sides and so:

Since n=10 this means that it is a 10 sided shape meaning it's a decagon.
Answer:
Claim 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The Inscribed Angle Theorem* tells you ...
... ∠RPQ = 1/2·∠ROQ
The multiplication property of equality tells you that multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 does not change the equality relationship.
... 2·∠RPQ = ∠ROQ
The symmetric property of equality says you can rearrange this to ...
... ∠ROQ = 2·∠RPQ . . . . the measure of ∠ROQ is twice the measure of ∠RPQ
_____
* You can prove the Inscribed Angle Theorem by drawing diameter POX and considering the relationship of angles XOQ and OPQ. The same consideration should be applied to angles XOR and OPR. In each case, you find the former is twice the latter, so the sum of angles XOR and XOQ will be twice the sum of angles OPR and OPQ. That is, angle ROQ is twice angle RPQ.
You can get to the required relationship by considering the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of linear angles. As a shortcut, you can use the fact that an external angle is the sum of opposite internal angles of a triangle. Of course, triangles OPQ and OPR are both isosceles.
Answer: D. Both triangles have an obtuse angle
This is because it says "Each triangle has <u>1 obtuse angle</u> and 2 acute angles" in the instructions. An obtuse angle is any angle between 90 and 180 degrees, excluding both endpoints.
