Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete problem is attached.

From the interception of two parallels lines and a transversal, results 8 angles, which are related, there are certain pair of angles that are congruent. We have alternate angles, which can be exterior or interior, we have corresponding angles, and vertical angles, all of those pairs are always congruent.

In the graph, we see that the given angles are alternate exterior angles, which always are congruent. So, we can equalize that pair and solve the equation for k:

$2k+11=131\\2k=131-11\\k=\frac{120}{2}\\ k=60$

Therefore the value of k is 60. The correct answer is the third one.

(Pay attention on the definition we used, just basing on alternate angles we could find a relation to find k, in most of the cases you solve geometric problems like that, looking for the ways to find a relation that allow you to answer the question).

Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

Volgvan

I just encountered this question. Here's my answer:

Given:
3 kids
product of their ages is 72.
Youngest child.

The youngest child means that all three kids have different ages.

We need to factor 72. Let us use prime factorization.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Based on the factors we can assume the following ages:

2 x 4 x 9 = 72
3 x 4 x 6 = 72
1 x 8 x 9 = 72 I prefer this age combination.
1 x 3 x 24 = 72
1 x 4 x 18 = 72

A jar has 32 marbles. Some are blue and the rest are green. There are three times as many green marbles as blue. How many green

ella [17]

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of marbles in jar = 32

Let blue marbles be represented by b.

Since there are three times as many green marbles as blue. This means that green will be = 3 × b = 3b

We then add them together. This will be:

3b + b = 32

4b = 32

b = 32/4

b = 8

There are 8 blue marbles

Since green is 3× blue. Therefore,

Green = 8 × 3 = 24 marbles
