The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 20° less than the sum of the base angles. Which system of equations can be used to

find the measure of the vertex and base angles?
A)
v + 2b = 180; 2b - 20 = v


B)
v + 2b = 180; 2b + 20 = v


C)
v - 2b = 180; v + 2b = -20


D)
v - 2b = 180; -2b - 20 = v

The answer to the above question can be explained as under -

We know that, the sum of angles of triangle is 180°.

So, vertex angle plus base angles are equal are equal to 180°.

Let the vertex angle be represented by "v" and base angles be represented by "b".

Thus,  v + b + b = 180°

So,  v + 2b = 180°

Next, the question says, the vertex angle is 20° less than the sum of base angles.

Thus, 2b - 20° = v

<u>Thus, we can conclude that the correct option is A) v + 2b = 180°, 2b - 20° = v</u>

Answer:

1.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA:

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

Here, we're given the hypotenuse is 4.5, and we want to find the side opposite of the 26° angle.  So we should use sine.

sin 26° = x / 4.5

0.44 = x / 4.5

x = 1.98

Two people meet for the first time. What is the probability that they both have the same birthday?
Alenkinab [10]
<span>The first person can have any birthday. That gives him 365 possible birthdays out of 365 days, so the probability of the first person having the "right" birthday is 365/365, or 100%.The chance that the second person has the same birthday is 1/365. To find the probability that both people have this birthday, we have to multiply their separate probabilities. (365/365) * (1/365) = 1/365, or about 0.27%.</span>
