We are given : m∠WYX=(2x−1)° and m∠WYZ=(4x+1)°.

∠WYX and ∠WYZ are complementary.

We know, sum of complementary angles is = 90°.

So, we need to add ∠WYX and ∠WYZ and set it equal to 90°.

m∠WYX + m∠WYZ = 90°.

Plugging values of ∠WYX and ∠WYZ in the above equation, we get

(2x−1)° + (4x+1)° = 90°.

Removing parentheses from both sides,

2x-1 + 4x+1 =90.

Combining like terms,

2x+4x= 6x and -1+1 =0

6x +0 =90.

6x=90.

Dividing both sides by 6.

6x/6 =90/6

x= 15.

Plugging value of x=15.

m∠WYX=(2x−1)° = 2*15 -1 = 30 -1 =29

m∠WYZ=(4x+1)° = 4*15 +1 = 60+1 = 61.

Therefore, ∠WYX=29° and ∠WYZ=61°.

<h3 /><h3>permutations and combinations:</h3>

permutations and combinations, the various ways in which objects from a set may be selected, generally without replacement, to form subsets. This selection of subsets is called a permutation when the order of selection is a factor, a combination when order is not a factor. By considering the ratio of the number of desired subsets to the number of all possible subsets for many games of chance in the 17th century, the French mathematicians Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat gave impetus to the development of combinatorics and probability theory.

Answer:

The domain is the set of all possible x-values

Domain is the time here

The range is the resulting y-values

The range is the outside temperature is here

Function is decreasing between x= 0 to 3

It means the temperature is decreasing between midnight and 3 AM

Is 15 ft, 36 ft, 39 ft a right triangle?

Nina [5.8K]

Use the pythagoream theorem to check. a^2+b^2=c^2

a=15 b=36 c= 39

225+1296=1521

The equation is true so it is a right triangle.

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism measures 15.6cm. Tower two, a cube with a cylinder measures 18.3cm. Tower 3, a hexagona

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tower one = 15.6 cm

Tower two = 18.3 cm

Tower 3 = 13.9 cm.

Required:

Height of the 4th tower

Represent a cube by X; a cylinder by Y and a hexagonal prism by Z

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism = X + Z = 15.6

Tower two, a cube with a cylinder = X + Y = 18.3

Tower 3, a hexagonal prism with a cylinder = Z + Y = 13.9

$X + Z = 15.6$ ----- Equation 1

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 2

$(X + Y = 18.3) - (X + Z = 15.6)$

$X - X + Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 2.7$ ---- Equation 4

Add Equation 4 to Equation 3

$(Y - Z = 2.7) + (Z + Y = 13.9)$

$Y + Y - Z + Z = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 16.6$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2Y}{2} = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = 8.3cm$

Substitute $Y = 8.3cm$ in Equation 2 and 3

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$X + 8.3 = 18.3$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$X + 8.3 - 8.3 = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 10cm$

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

$Z + 8.3 = 13.9$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$Z + 8.3 - 8.3 = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 5.6cm$

So, we have that

$X = 10cm$

$Y = 8.3cm$

$Z = 5.6cm$

The question states that the 4th tower is made up of the three shapes;

This implies that;

$Tower 4 = X + Y + Z$

$Tower 4 = 10cm + 8.3cm + 5.6cm$

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

The height of the 4th tower is 23.9cm
