The total scores of the x students from class A can be calculated by multiplying x and the average which is equal to 85. That is 85x.

In similar manner, we are able to find for the total scores of the students from Class B. That would be, 90y.

Combining the scores, the new average then becomes 88. This is equal to,

                                 (85x + 90y) / (x + y ) = 88

Cross-multiplying,
                            85x + 90y = 88x + 88y

Combine all the x's and y's in each side of the equation.

                        85x - 88x = 88y - 90y

Combining terms,
                              -3x = -2y

The ratio is obtained through the step below,
                         -3x/-3y = -2y/-3y

                            x/y = 2/3

Thus, the ratio is 2/3.

Answer:

The measure of ∠GKH is 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal in measures
  • The measure of an exterior angle at a vertex of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of two opposite interior angles

In Δ HJK

∵ HJ = JK

→ That means the triangle is isosceles

∴ Δ HJK is an isosceles triangle

∵ ∠JHK and ∠JKH are base angles

→ By using the first rule above

∴ m∠JHK = m∠JKH

∵ m∠HJK = 70°

∵ m∠JHK + m∠JKH + m∠HJK = 180° ⇒ interior angles of a triangle

∴ m∠JHK + m∠JKH + 70 =180

→ Subtract 70 from both sides

∴ m∠JHK + m∠JKH = 110

→ Divide their sum by 2 to find the measure of each one

∴ m∠JHK = m∠JKH = 110 ÷ 2 = 55°

∵ ∠JHK is an exterior angle of ΔGHK at vertex H

∵ ∠HGK and ∠GKH are the opposite interior angles to ∠JHK

→ By using the 2nd rule above

∴ m∠JHK = m∠HGK + m∠GKH

∵ m∠JHK = 55°

∵ m∠HGK = 28°

∴ 55 = 28 + m∠GKH

→ Subtract 28 from both sides

∴ 27° = m∠GKH

∴ The measure of ∠GKH is 27°

How do I prove that (1+sinx)/cosx=cos(-x)/(1+sine(-x))
stira [4]
\dfrac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\cos (-x)}{1+\sin(-x)}\\&#10;\dfrac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\cos x}{1-\sin x}\\&#10;\cos^2 x=(1+\sin x)(1-\sin x)\\&#10;\cos^2 x=1-\sin^2 x\\&#10;\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1&#10;
