<h3>
Answer: A) z = 12</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
RS = RT
2z-15 = 9
2z = 9+15
2z = 24
z = 24/2
z = 12
The reason why RS is equal to RT in the first equation is because we have an isosceles triangle. Recall that any isosceles triangle has exactly two sides the same length, and the opposite base angles are congruent to one another. The congruent angles are indicated with the single arcs.
In short: the base angles S and T are congruent, so the opposite sides RS and RT are the same length. This leads to RS = RT.
Answer: I think b
Step-by-step explanation:
When a line and a curve are tangent to each other, they are joined together by 1 point (x,y). So, you equate both equations either in terms of x or y. For this problem, let's equate in terms of y.
y = k - x
y = x² + 3x + 1
k - x = x² + 3x + 1
k = x² + 3x + x + 1
k = x² + 4x + 1
This would be the value of k. Since we are not given the common point, it can only be expressed in terms of x or y.
Answer:
12.85
Step-by-step explanation:
75.00-21.95-23.42-16.75=12.85
The answer is 10
10-1=9
9*8=72
