Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle.Find the angle of rotation that maps A to B

Mathematics

The sum of the inner angles of any triangle is always 180°, i.e. you have


\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 180


In the particular case of an equilater triangle, all three angles are the same, so

\alpha = \beta = \gamma


and the expression becomes


\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \alpha + \alpha + \alpha = 3\alpha = 180


which implies \alpha = 60


So, if you rotate the triangle with respect to its center by 60 degrees, the triangle will map into itself. In particular, if you want point A to be mapped into point B, you have to perform a counter clockwise rotation of 60 degrees with respect to the center of the triangle.


Of course, this is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 120 degrees.


Finally, both solutions admit periodicity: a rotation of 60+k360 degrees has the same effect of a rotation of 60 degrees, and the same goes for the 120 one (actually, this is obvisly true for any rotation!)

Solve for X (picture included)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+20) + (2x-4) = 180 degrees

4x+16 = 180 degrees

4x = 164

x = 41

The two sides are supplementary and add up to 180 degrees.

To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine foun
QveST [7]

Answer:

We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860

Since,                  

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Debra found that 6 of the 24 students in her class own a cell phone . What is the ratio of students that own a cell phone to stu
ale4655 [162]
6:18 students in Debra's class own a cellphone. Because there are 24 people in total. Minus the people who already own cellphones. Leaving 18 without cellphones. The ratio is people who have cellphones to people who do not. 
24-6=18. Thus, the ratio would be 6:18
