Answer:

option C

$20\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal angles and two equal sides. The two equal angles are the base angles and the third angle is the vertex angle

In this problem the base angles are angle B and angle C

m∠B=m∠C

substitute

$(5x+5)\°=(7x-25)\°$

$(7x-5x)\°=(5+25)\°$

$2x=30\°$

$x=15\°$

m∠B= $(5x+5)\°=5*15+5=80\°$

Remember that the sum of the internal angles of the triangle is equal to $180\°$

Find m∠A

m∠A= $180\°-2*80\°=20\°$

7x-25=5x+5
2x-25=5
2x=30
x=15
75+5=80
180-160
20
C) 20

sweet [91]

So to work this out we need to find the 4th root of each of those and pick the one that gives an integer.

A: $\sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^1} = 632.455...$ This is a decimal therefore not an integer.

B: $\sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^2} =1124.682...$ Again a decimal, therefore not an integer.

C: $\sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^3} =2000$ This is a whole number, so it is an integer.

D: $\sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^4} =3556.558...$ Decimal, therefore not an integer

E: $\sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^5} =6324.555...$ Again a decimal, not an integer.

The only one that gives an integer when put to the 4th root is C, therefore:

$1.6*10^1^3$ could be A^4, as the 4th root of it is an integer.

For each of these relations on the set {21, 22, 23, 24}, decide whether it is reflexive, whether it is symmetric, whether it is

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I. { (22,22) , (22,23) , (22,24) , (23,22) , (23,23) , (23,24) }

Reflexive : True because we see the pairs (22,22) , (23,23)..

Symmetrix : NO, as we see the pairs (22,24) BUT NOT (24,22)

Transitive : YES, As we see (22,22 ) and (22, 24) , we see the pairs (22,24)

Antisymmetric : NO

II){ (21,21) , (21,22) , (22,21) , (22,22) , (23,23) , (24,24) }

Reflexive : True because we see the pairs (22,22) , (23,23) (21,21)

Symmetrix : Yes, as we see the pairs (21,22) AND (22,21)

Transitive : YES,

Antisymmetric : NO

If 15 students share 26 brownies, how many would each student get?

slamgirl [31]

Hi, all we need to do is to divide the number of brownies by the number of students, and we will get the amount of how many would each student get.

26/15 = 1,73 brownies per student.
