Answer: 142°
Step-by-step explanation:
∡BAC= 38°
∡BAN= 180°-38° = 142°
Answer:
x=21.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute 3 to the parenthesis. You should get 3x-21=42 at this point. Then you add 21 to 42 to get 63. Here you should be at 3x=63. Divide 63 by 3 to get x=3
There are infinitely many ways to do this. One such way is to draw a very thin stretched out rectangle (say one that is very tall) and a square. Example: the rectangle is 100 by 2, while the square is 4 by 4.
Both the rectangle and the square have the same corresponding angle measures. All angles are 90 degrees.
However, the figures are not similar. You cannot scale the rectangle to have it line up with the square. The proportions of the sides do not lead to the same ratio
100/4 = 25
2/4 = 0.5
so 100/4 = 2/4 is not a true equation. This numerically proves the figures are not similar.
side note: if you are working with triangles, then all you need are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles. If you have more than three sides for the polygon, then you'll need to confirm the sides are in proportion along with the angles being congruent as well.
Alright, so we have 1.3/0.0338. Since it's easier (in my opinion) to work with whole numbers, we can multiply the fraction by 10000/10000 to get 13000/338. With a bit of guess and check, we can see that
338*30=338*3*10

1114
Multiplying that by 10, I get 11140, which isn't enough. Trying 338*40, which is 338*4*10, we can add 338 to 338*3 to get 338*4 to get

1462
Multiplying that by 10, we get 14620, which is more than 13000 - something we don't want. Repeating this for 338*35 (which is 338*3.5*10, and 3.5 is 3*338+338/2)=11830 and which isn't enough, we then move on to something between 35 and 40 (the number doesn't matter), say 39. 338*39=338*3.9*10, and 338*3.9 is 338*3+338*9/10, and
338*39 results to 13182, which is more than 13000 , but only by a tiny bit, so we can try 38 using the same method, getting 12844, which is smaller, so we know it's between 38 and 39. Finding the difference between 13000 and 12844, we get 13000-12844=156 and the answer is therefore 38+156/338
