The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A)

<h3>How to find a missing angle by triangle properties</h3>

Triangles are <em>geometrical</em> figures formed by three sides and whose sum of <em>internal</em> angles equals 180°. There are two kind of triangles existing in this question: (i) <em>Right</em> triangles, (ii) <em>Isosceles</em> triangles.

<em>Right</em> triangles are triangles which one of its angles equals 90° and <em>isosceles</em> triangles are triangles which two of its sides have <em>equal</em> measures.

According to the statement, we know that triangle BQR is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle, whereas triangles ABC, ANB and NBC are <em>right</em> triangles. Based on the figure attached below, we have the following system of <em>linear</em> equations based on <em>right</em> triangles ABC and NBC:

<em>2 · x + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (1)

<em>(90 - x) + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (2)

By equalizing (1) and (2) we solve the system for <em>x</em>:

<em>2 · x = 90 - x</em>

<em>3 · x = 90</em>

<em>x = 30</em>

And by (1) we solve the system for <em>θ</em>:

<em>θ = 180 - 2 · x - 90</em>

<em>θ = 30</em>

<em />

The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A) \blacksquare

A rectangle is transformed according to the rule r0, 90º. the image of the rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

Counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1), p'(–3, 1), and q'(–3, 4)

To find :  transformed according to the rule 90º , what is the location of q?

Solution : we have given that

vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1), p'(–3, 1), and q'(–3, 4).

By the rule of 90º rotation clock wise rule : (x ,y ) →→ ( y , -x )

90º rotation counter clock wise rule : (x ,y ) →→ ( -y , x ).

Then   Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

Therefore, Clockwise vertices of q' ( -3 ,4) →→ q( 4 , 3 ).

counter clock wise rule : q' (-3 ,4 ) →→ q( -4 , -3 ).

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is x > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this inequality:

5x+7 > 17

Put "-7" on both sides
