\[\sum_{n=1}^{7} 2(-2)^{n-1}\]
Answer: x = 50
Concept:
Here, we need to know the idea of alternative interior angles and the angle sum theorem.
<u>Alternative interior angles</u> are angles that are formed inside the two parallel lines, and the values are equal.
The <u>angle sum theorem</u> implies that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below or let me know.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given information:</u>
AC ║ DE
∠ABC = 85°
∠A = 135°
<u>Find the value of ∠BAC</u>
∠A + ∠BAC = 180° (Supplementary angle)
(135°) + ∠BAC = 180°
∠BAC = 45°
<u>Find the value of ∠BCA</u>
∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180° (Angle sum theorem)
(85°) + (45°) + ∠BCA = 180°
∠BCA = 50°
<u>Find the value of x (∠EBC)</u>
∠EBC ≅ ∠BCA (Alternative interior angles)
Since, ∠BCA = 50°
Therefore, ∠EBC = 50°

Hope this helps!! :)

I got 132 for the area of this shape
<span>A parabola that has a horizontal directrix is a parabola that opens up or down.
Here are some of its components:
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a horizontal directrix: (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k),
a = distance from vertex to focus
2) Vertex at (h,k)
3) Focus(h,k+a)
4) Directrix: y = k-a
5) Axis of symmetry: x = h
A parabola that has a vertical directrix opens to the right or left and is on its side.
Here are some components
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a vertical directrix: (y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h)
2) vertex (h,k)
3) focus (h+a,k)
4) directrix: x = h-a
5) Axis of symmetry: y = k
Hopes this helps :)</span>
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
950 is 95% of 1000
so he lost 5 percent, which can be represented as -5.0%
