Answer:

∠ABC = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached AB and BC are two tangents drawn on a circle touching at A and C.

Measure of minor arc = 110°

And we have to find the measurement of ∠ABC.

Since measure of minor arc AC = 110°

and m(minor arc AC) + m(major arc AC) = 360°

110° + major arc AC = 360°

major arc AC = 360 - 110 = 250°

and angle formed outside the circle by two tangents formed at B = 1/2(difference of intercepted arcs)

= $\frac{1}{2}(major arc - minor arc)=\frac{1}{2}(250-110)=\frac{1}{2}(140)=70$

Therefore answer is ∠ABC = 70°

Answer:

Option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.

If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

A store owner buys a case of 144 pens for $28.80. He sells the pens for $0.40 each. The owner claims that they marked the pens u

stellarik [79]

Answer: $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The owner buys 144 pens for $28.80 i.e. each pen costs

$\dfrac{28.80}{144}=\$0.2$

owner sells the pen at $0.4 i.e. price marked up by

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.4-0.2}{0.2}\times 100=100\%$

So, the claim of the owner is incorrect

The actual increase in the price to get 50% markup

$\Rightarrow 0.2\times (1+0.5)=\$0.3$

The length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and 4. The area of the rectangle is 32

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The width of rectangle w = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+ 4

Area of rectangle = 32 units

We need to find width of the rectangle

The formula used is: $Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width$

Putting values and finding width of rectangle

$Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width\\32=(w+4)\times w\\32=w^2+4w\\w^2+4w-32=0$

We need to solve this quadratic equation to find width (w)

We will use factorisation and break the middle term.

$w^2+4w-32=0\\w^2+8w-4w-32=0\\w(w+8)-4(w+8)=0\\(w-4)(w+8)=0\\w-4=0\:or\:w+8=0\\w=4\:or\:w=-8$

Since width of rectangle can't be negative, so rejecting w=-8

Therefore, the width of rectangle w = 4 units
