Answer:
34°
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, let's find the measure of ∠1 because since r || s, that means ∠1 = ∠7 because they're both alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are congruent.
2. (Solving for ∠1)
3. Now, since we know ∠1 = ∠7, ∠7 = 34°.
I am going to make what is hopefully not an incorrect assumption and say that since the segmentXSZ is black and the other lines are blue, that XS is congruent to ZS. If that be the case we have a side in each triangle that is congruent to each other and an angle that is marked as congruent. Angles XSW and ZSY are vertical angles. By definition, vertical angles are congruent. In each triangle, then, we have an angle, a side and an angle which gives us the congruency postulate ASA.
Answer:
86.63 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent relation applies.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(77°) = (tree height)/(20 ft)
tree height = (20 ft)·tan(77°) ≈ 86.63 ft

It is somewhat problematic for Bob to see the top of a white pine tree at that angle of elevation. His view would likely be obscured by the branches of the tree.
Answer:
He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define the variables:
C = number of cats.
P = number of penguins.
We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:
C + P = 40
We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)
Then we have the equation:
40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P
Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:
(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P
40 = 4*C
Now with this, we can find the value of C.
40/4 = C = 10
Then he has 10 cats.
Now we can replace this in the equation:
P + C = 40
to find the value of P
P + 10 = 40
P = 40 - 10 = 30
P = 30
He has 30 penguins.
Answer: The slope is 15/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
M = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
M = (5 - (-10))/(-1 - (-5))
M = (5 + 10)/(-1 + 5)
M = 15/4
