The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of

weqwewe [10]

Complete Question:

The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of D is five-halves the measure of Y. Find the measure of each angle of the deck.

Answer:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Parallelogram DGRY

Dimension: $\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

Required

Find the measure of each angle

D and R are opposite sides & G and Y are also opposite sides.

So, we have:

$\angle D = \angle R = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

and

$\angle G = \angle Y$

The sum of angles is given as:

$\angle D + \angle G + \angle R + \angle Y=360^{\circ}$

Substitute values for $\angle D, \angle G \ \& \angle R$

$\frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \angle Y + \angle Y = 360^{\circ}$

Take LCM

$\frac{5\angle Y + 5\angle Y + 2\angle Y+ 2\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

$\frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{14}$

$\frac{2}{14} * \frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{ 360^{\circ} *2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{720^{\circ}}{14}$

$\angle Y= 51.43 ^{\circ}$

So:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2} * 51.43^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5* 51.43^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = \frac{257.15^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Hence:

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

The area of a square piece of land in square units can be represented by the expression 9q4r8s6. What is the length of one side

sveta [45]

Knowing that the area of a square is equivalent the square of its side length, the length of one side can be calculated by taking the square root of the area. The square root of the expression 9q^4r^8s^8 units is equivalent to <span>3q2r4|s3| units. When taking the square root of variables, the power they are raised to is divided by 2.</span>

Imagine you are responsible for writing an advice column about mathematics. The following question is submitted to your column:

marissa [1.9K]

Explanation:

There are two different formulas that are useful with the given information:

Area = (1/2)ab·sin(C)

Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) . . . where s=(a+b+c)/2

It does not matter which sides are designated a, b, and c. Angle C will be opposite side c.

The third angle can be computed based on the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. It will be 180° -32° -28° = 120°. The least-to-greatest order of the angles is the same as the least-to-greatest order of the length of the opposite side. So, we might have ...

a = 7, A = 28°
b = 8, B = 32°
c = 13, C = 120°

Utilizing the first formula, the area is ...

Area = (1/2)(7)(8)sin(120°) = 14√3 ≈ 24.249 . . . square units

Utilizing the second formula, the area is ...

s = (7+8+13)/2 = 14

Area = √(14(14-7)(14-8)(14-13)) = 14√3 ≈ 24.249 . . . square units

__

For the answer to be complete, it should be noted that using either of the other two angles will give different results for the area. That is because those angles are not exact values, but are rounded to the nearest degree. Using the first formula with the different angles, we get ...

area = (1/2)(8)(13)sin(28°) ≈ 24.413 . . . square units
area = (1/2)(7)(13)sin(32°) ≈ 24.111 . . . square units

The first of these answers is a little high because 28° is a little more than the actual value of the angle. Likewise, the second of these answers is a little low because 32° is slightly smaller than the actual angle.

In short, the most accurate information available should be used if the answer is to be the most accurate possible. If the angles are exact, then their values should be used. If the side measures are exact, then their values should be used. In general, it will be easier to make accurate measurements of the side lengths than to make accurate angle measurements.

Which one is bigger 64 in or 5 ft

anzhelika [568]

64 inches is greater than 5ft. There are 12 inches in a foot. You should divide 64 by 12. You will get 5.333 (repeating, in this instance we will round up to 5.4)
