Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory A proportion:

3 : 2,000

Factory B proportion:

5 : 4,500 (this can be simplified):

1 : 900

Now plug in 18,000 to each proportion:

Factory A:

x : 18,000

3 : 2,000

x = 27

Factory B:

x : 18,000

1 : 900

x = 20

Factory A had the greater amount of defects, 27

Given: circle k(O), m<br> LM<br> = 164°<br> m<br> WK<br> = 68°, m∠MLK = 65°<br> Find: m∠LMW
Semenov [28]

Let P be a point outside the circle such that triangle LMP has legs coincident with chords MW and LK (i.e. M, W, and P are colinear, and L, K, and P are colinear). By the intersecting secants theorem,

m\angle LPM=\dfrac{m\widehat{LM}-m\widehat{WK}}2\impliesm\angle LPM=48^\circ

The angles in any triangle add to 180 degrees in measure, and \angle MLK\congruent\angle MLP and m\angle LMW=m\angle LMP, so that

m\angle MLK+m\angle LPM+m\angle LMP=180^\circ

\implies\boxed{m\angle LMW=67^\circ}

Quadrilateral army is rotated 90° about the origin
nevsk [136]
Sorry I am late but the I think it is this, I don’t know the answer but here is what I know. answer is: Imagine a rectangle that has one vertex at the origin and the opposite vertex is A. Now that you can see the image of A(3,4) under the rotation is A’(-4,3). It is easier to rotate the points that lie on the axes, and these help us find the image of A.
POINT: (3,0) (0,4) (3,4)
IMAGE (3,0) (-4,0) (-4,3)
