Answer:

P = 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

PQ = 17

QR = 15

PR = 14

Using the cosine formula since the length of the three sides are given:

a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)

To find P:

QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 – 2(PQ)(PR)cos(P)

15^2 = 17^2 + 14^2 – 2(17)(14)cos(P)

225 = 289 + 196 - 476 cosP

476*CosP = 485 - 225

476*CosP = 260

CosP = 260/476

CosP = 0.5462184

P = Cos^-1(0.5462184)

P = 56.892029

P = 57°

What is m∠2?<br> What is m∠1?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

<2 = 75

<1 = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

<2 and 75 are alternate interior angles and since the lines are parallel, they are equal

<2 = 75

<2 + <1 = 180    since the angles form a line

75+ <1 = 180

Subtract 75 from each side

<1 = 180-75

<1 = 105

-2-5(4n-6)=-132 not really sure how to do this one ..
uranmaximum [27]

All you have to do is follow PEMDAS (if you don't know what that is, search it up).


-2-5(4n-6)=-132

Distribute the 5 to everything in the parentheses.

-2-20n+30= -132

Combine like terms.

-20n+28 = -132

Subtract 28 from both sides.

-20n = -160

Divide by -20 on both sides.

n = 8

Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31. Seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smalle
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

y = 2 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number.

<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Part 1</u></h2>

Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31.

<u>It is translated as:</u>

  • 4x + 3y = 31

<u>Then, solving for y:</u>

  • 4x + 3y=31 ⇒ 3y= -4x+31 ⇒ y= (-4x+31)/3 = - 4/3x + 31/3

    ⇒  y= - 4/3x + 31/3

<u>Correct answer choice for this equation:</u>

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

<h2><u>Part 2 </u></h2>

Seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smaller number.

<u>It is translated as:</u>

  • y-7= 2x

<u>Then, solving for y:</u>

  • y-7= 2x ⇒ y= 2x+ 7

<u>Correct answer choice for this equation:</u>

y = 2 x + 7
