Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

H+S=50

2H+4S=140

4H+4S=200

4H+4S=200-

2H+ 4S =140

2H=60

H=30

50-30=20

Given that the measure of angle 6 is 1/8 of measure of angle 4. Find the measures of these two angles if a∥b.
vredina [299]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ∠4 be x then ∠6 is \frac{1}{8} x

∠4 and ∠6 are same side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

x + \frac{1}{8}x = 180

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction

8x + x = 1440, that is

9x = 1440 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 160

Hence ∠4 = 160° and ∠6 = 160° ÷ 8 = 20°

Given ƒ(x) = 14x + 42, find x when ƒ(x) = 35. A) − 12 Eliminate B) −1 C) 1 D) 3
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=14x+42

f(x)=35

Given the information above, we can simply set up an equation so we can find the value of x.

14x + 42 = 35

Subtract 42 on both sides.

14x=-7

Divide 14 on both sides.

x=-\frac{1}{2}

So, the value of x is equal to -1/2 when f(x) is 35.

AB and BC are tangents to P. what is the value of x? this is really so confusing
Westkost [7]
1. Angle PAB is 90 degrees, as it is formed from the tanget to the circle at A, and the radius drawn to A. 

2. AB=BC, because tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.

3. PB is Common, so by the side-side-side congruence postulate, triangles ABP and CBP are congruent. 

4. So measure of m(BPA)=x/2 and m(ABP)=73/2.

5. \frac{x}{2}+90+ \frac{73}{2}=180

\frac{x+73}{2}=90

x+73=180, x= 107 degrees.
