Answer:

x = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles in a triangle

x+90 = 159

Subtract 90 from each side

x +90-90 = 159-90

x =69

Answer:

One of the interior angles is given as 90°

Move on to the exterior angle with 159°. Since one part of the altitude is given to be 159°, we can find the other part (let's name it y) because both add up to 180°(linear pair).

159+y = 180

y = 180-159

y = 21°

Now finally find x.

All the interior angles of the triangle result up to 180°

90+21+x = 180

111+x = 180

x = 180-111

x = 69°

peter buys 12 bunches of bannas for 9.00. use a ratio table to determine how much peter will pay for 8 bunches.
erik [133]

We are given that Peter buys 12 bunches of bananas for 9.00.

We need to determine how much peter will pay for 8 bunches.

Let us set up proportion now.

12 bunches of bananas for 9.00 = 12 : 9

Let us assume Peter will pay for 8 bunches = $x.

Therefore, 8 bunches of bananas for x = 8 : x.

<h3>Setting up proportion:</h3><h3>\frac{12}{9} = \frac{8}{x}</h3>

On cross-multiplying, we get

12x = 9×8

12x = 72.

Dividing both sides by 12, we get

\frac{12x}{12} =\frac{72}{12}

x=6.

<h3>Therefore, Peter will pay $6 for 8 bunches.</h3>

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 36 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function
elixir [45]
This can be solved in two ways: With heavy tools or with just algebra. 
What is your level? Have you studied calculus? 

With pure algebra: 
We need to find the maximum of the function <span>h = −16t^2 + 36t + 5
Lets take out -1 for simplicity: 
</span><span>h = −(16t2 - 36t - 5) 
For now lets just work with this: </span>16t^2 - 36t - 5
16t^2=(4t)^2 
(4t-x)^2= 16t^2-2*4xt+x^2
we have -36t so x should be 4.5 as 2*4*4.5=36

Lets see what we have now:
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 is this true? No but close
(4t-4.5)^2= 16t^2- 2*4*4.5t +4.5^2= 16t^2-36t+20.25

16t^2 - 36t - 5   and 16t^2-36t+20.25 nearl the same just take away 25.25 from the right hand side

Getting long, just stay with me: 
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 - 25.25

h= -{(4t-4.5)^2 -25.25}
h=-(4t-4.5)^2 + 25.25

We want to find the maximum of this function. -(4t-4.5)^2 this bit is always negative or 0, so it maximum is when it is 0. Solve: 4t-4.5=0
t=1,125
