Answer:
6. x = 28 degrees
7. z = 1.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
6.
Notice that you can use the property that tells us that the addition of all internal angles of a triangle must give 180 degrees, then you write the following equation:
50 + 69 + (2 x +5) = 180
combine like terms:
119 + 2 x + 5 = 180
124 + 2 x = 180
subtract 124 from both sides:
2 x = 56
divide by 2 both sides:
x = 56 / 2
x = 28 degrees
Problem 7.
If the two triangles are congruent, then the side MN must equal side RS.
Since MN measure 1,8 cm, then RS must also measure 1.8 cm
and we can write the equation:
1.8 = 3 z - 3
adding 3 to both sides:
1.8 + 3 = 3 z
4.8 = 3 z
dividing both sides by 3:
z = 4.8 / 3
z = 1.6 cm
You need to know the length of two sides and the degree of one angle.
Answer: 102
-----------------------------------------------
We'll use the formula
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
where
A = area of trapezoid
h = height
b1 & b2 are the parallel bases
In this case,
b1 = 6+7 = 13
b2 = 21
h = 6
Making the area to be
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(13+21)/2
A = 6*(34)/2
A = 204/2
A = 102
Side Note: We don't use the slanted side of 10 cm at all
The speed of one car is 'S'. The speed of the other car is (S + 10).
In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels 5(S + 10) miles.
Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.
500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)
500 = 5S + 5S + 50
500 = 10S + 50
Subtract 50 from each side:
450 = 10S
Divide each side by 10
S = <u>45</u>
S + 10 = <u>55</u>
