Answer:

$x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$AB||CD$

$\angle ABC = 5x + 50$

$\angle BCD = 7x + 34$

Required

Find x

If $AB||CD$ i.e. If AB is parallel to CD, then

$\angle ABC = \angle BCD$

Substitute values for ABC and BCD

$5x + 50 = 7x + 34$

Collect Like Terms

$5x - 7x = -50 + 34$

$-2x = -16$

Multiply through by $-\frac{1}{2}$

$-\frac{1}{2} * -2x = -16 * -\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} * 2x = 16 * \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{16}{2}$

$x = \frac{16}{2}$

$x=8$

B) No

C) No

D) No

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, every telephone number that could occur in that community will have an equal chance of being generated because the telephone numbers were generated randomly.

B) No, this method of generating telephone numbers would not result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences because the first three digits were generated in a different random way than the last four digits.

C) No, this method would not generate an SRS of local voters because not everybody will be pick up when they call because they may not be at home or they may be too busy to pick up.

D) No, this method is not unbiased in generating samples of households because there will be nonresponse bias since not everyone will pick up the call

Find the measure of one interior angle for the following regular polygon

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

144 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula (n-2)(180), where n = number of sides, to find the sum of all the interior angles in the decagon. Since a decagon has 10 sides:

(n-2)(180) = ?

(10-2)(180) = ?

(8)(180) = 1440.

Now, to find one interior angle in the decagon, divide 1440 by the number sides in our polygon (10).

1,440/10 = 144

= <u>144 degrees</u>

A is 60% of B , B is 30% of C, what percentage of C is A

zaharov [31]

A is 30% more than B. So, A = B + 30% of B = B + 30/100 *B = B + 3/10 *B = 13/10 *B. B is 60% less than C. So, B = C - 60% of C = C - 60/100 *C = C - 3/5 *C = 2/5 *C.
