Points $D$, $E$, and $F$ are the midpoints of sides $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CA}$, and $\overline{AB}$ of $\triangle ABC$, re

spectively, and $\overline{CZ}$ is an altitude of the triangle. If $\angle BAC = 71^\circ$, $\angle ABC = 39^\circ$, and $\angle BCA = 70^\circ$, then what is $\angle EZD+\angle EFD$ in degrees?

The sum of \boxed{\angle {\text{EZD}} + \angle \text{EFD} = {{140}^ \circ }}.

Further Explanation:

The sum of all angle of the triangle is \boxed{{{180}^ \circ }}.

The line joining the mid points of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of it.

Given:

D, E and F are the midpoints of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively.

CZ is an altitude of the triangle ABC.

\angle \text{BAC} = {71^ \circ }, \angle \text{ABC} = {39^ \circ } and \angle \text{BCA} = {70^ \circ }.

Calculation:

E is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of BC.

The line ED is parallel to the line AB.

F is the midpoint of AB and D is the midpoint of AB.

The line FD is parallel to the line AC.

E is the midpoint of AC and F is the midpoint of AB.

The line EF is parallel to the line BC.

Therefore, \angle \text{AFE} = \angle \text{ABC} = 39^\circ.

\angle \text{AFE} + \angle \text{EFD} + \angle \text{DFB} = 180^\circ

Substitute 39^\circ for \angle \text{AFE} and 71^\circ for \angle \text{DFB} in the above equation to obtain the value of angle \angle \text{EFD}.

\begin{aligned}\angle EFD &= {180^ \circ } - {71^ \circ } - {39^ \circ } \\ &= {180^ \circ } - {110^ \circ } \\ &= {70^ \circ } \\\end{aligned}

In triangle AEZ the side AE is equal to side EZ.

Angle opposite to equal side are equal Therefore, \angle \text{EAZ} = \angle \text{EZA} = {71^ \circ } and \angle \text{DFZ} = \angle \text{DBZ} = {39^ \circ }.

The sum of \angle \text{AZE} + \angle \text{EZD} + \angle \text{DZB} = {180^ \circ }.

Substitute 39^\circ for \angle \text{DZB} and 71^\circ for \angle \text{AZE} in the above equation to obtain the value of \angle \text{EZD}.

\begin{aligned}\angle \text{EZD}+{71^ \circ }+ {39^ \circ } &= {180^\circ } \\\angle \text{EZD} &= {180^\circ } - {39^ \circ } - {71^ \circ } \\\angle \text{EZD} &= {180^\circ } - {110^ \circ } \\\angle \text{EZD} &= {70^ \circ } \\\end{aligned}

The sum of \angle {\text{EZD}} + \angle \text{EFD} can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}\angle {\text{EZD}} + \angle \text{EFD} &= {70^ \circ } + {70^ \circ } \\&= {140^ \circ } \\\end{aligned}

Kindly refer to the image attached.

The sum of \boxed{\angle {\text{EZD}} + \angle \text{EFD} = {{140}^ \circ }}.

Consider ΔABC, DF is a midline of this triangle, so the midline joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and half as long. You have that DF||AC, then ∠DFB=∠CAB=71°. Similarly, EF is a midline and EF||BC and therefore ∠AFE=∠ABC=39°. ∠AFE+∠EFD+∠DFB=180°, then 

∠EFD=180°-71°-39°=70°.

Consider right ΔAZC, ZE is a median and is equal to half of hypotenuse AC, then ΔAEZ is isoscales and ∠EAZ=∠EZA=71°. Similarly, ΔCZB is right, FD is a median and is equal to half of hypotenuse BC. ΔBDZ is isoscales and ∠DFZ=∠DBZ=39°.∠AZE+∠EZD+∠DZB=180°, then 

∠EZD=180°-71°-39°=70°.

Hence, ∠EZD+∠EFD=70°+70°=140°

The first side of a triangle is 7cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 4cm longer than the first side. The perim
Vinil7 [7]

Given:

First side(A): 2B - 7

Second side(B): B

Third side(C): B + 4

Plug in values:

A + B + C = 80

2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80

If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:

2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80

This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80

=4B - 3 = 80

= 4B = 80 + 3

B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.

Checking your work:

A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5

B: 20.75

C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75

34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.

Hope this helped.

There are 5 different pairs of gloves, where left and right are distinguishable. Select 4 of the 10 gloves. (a) How many are the
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

10 ways

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

130 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above questions using Combination

Combination = C(n, r) = nCr

= n!/n! ×(n - r)!

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

We have 5 pairs of gloves. Therefore, the number of ways to select 2 gloves =5C2

= 5!/2! × (5 - 2)!

= 5!/2! × 3!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/(2 × 1) × (3 × 2 × 1)!

= 10 ways.

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

We are told to select 4 gloves out of the 10 gloves = 10C4

We have 5 pairs, we need to make sure that two out of the selected 4 make a pair = 5 × 2⁴

= 80

Hence,

10C4 - 5C4

= [10!/4! × (10 - 4)!] - 80

= 210 - 80

= 130 ways

A recipe for cookies calls for 3 1/4 cups of sugar. Amy has already put in 3 1/9 cups. How many more cups does she need to put i
sammy [17]
So 3 and 1/4 is equal to 4/4+4/4+4/4+1/4=13/4

so she put in 3 and 1/9 or 9/9+9/9+9/9+1/9 or 28/9

28/9+x=13/4
13/4-28/9=x

so we convert so that the bottom numbers are the same

a short cut is 3 and 1/4+x=3 and 1/9 
3 1/9+x=3 1/4
subtract 3 from both sides
1/9+x=1/4
subtract 1/4 from both sides
x=1/4-1/9
convert bottom number to same thing
1/9=4/36
1/4=9/36
x=9/36-4/36
x=5/36
5/36 cups
