He is not correct.  If this is to be an equilateral triangle then all the angles must be the same measure.  That means that 180/3 = 60°.  They all have to equal 60°.  If one of the angles measures 4x-12, then 4x-12=60.  Solving for x, we will add 12 to both sides to get 4x=72.  x here is 18.  For the other angle measuring 2x+26, we would do the same.  2x+26=60.  Subtract 26 from both sides to get 2x= 34 and x = 17.  He was way off.

No, Yin is not correct. If  x = 19, the measure of angle ABC = 4(19) – 12 = 64. Therefore, the two base angles measure 64°. An equilateral triangle is quadrangular, so each angle would have to measure 60° because there are 180° in a triangle.

How would you solve the following trig equation sin(x)=-0.5 by isolating the x?
Vitek1552 [10]

Make use of the inverse sine function. Take the inverse sine of both sides of the equation. Of course, within the appropriate limits, the inverse sine of the sine function is the original argument, as is the case with any inverse function: f⁻¹(f(x)) = x.

... sin⁻¹(sin(x)) = sin⁻¹(-0.5)

... x = sin⁻¹(-0.5)

... x = -30°

_____

You need to be careful with inverses of trig functions, because they are only defined over a limited domain and range. The range of the inverse sine function is -90° to 90°, so, for example, sin⁻¹(sin(150°)) = sin⁻¹(0.5) = 30°.

The ratio of the measure of three angles of a triangle is 2:3:10. Find the measure of the largest angle.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle = 180°:

2 + 3 + 10 = 15

then:

180/15 = 12

then, the measure of the largest angle:

10 * 12 = 120°

Maria is ordering copy paper for her office. The office is low on white paper and on blue paper. She will play 3.50 per ream of
m_a_m_a [10]
So we know that the decimal place will move one right. Well basically let's assume she could have bought these expressions:

x 10 x 3.50 = 35.00
x 9 x 3.50 = 31.50 + 3.75 = 35.25
x 8 x 3.5 = 28 + 3.75 x 2 = 35.5
x 7 x 3.5 = 24.5 + 3.75 x 35.75

We know that there is a pattern. See how the cents goes .25 up each time. So we know she'd buy 6 reams of white because (6 x 3.5 = 21) + (4 x 3.75 = 15) = 36.
