Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to find the largest common factor. The way I did it was by listing out all of the factors of each number, then going through all of them and finding the largest common factor which was 8.

Answer:

8 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common, GCF question and the question becomes, what number is the GCF of 40 and 24.

40= 2x2x2x5

24=2x2x2x3

Both share 2x2x2, which is 8 so the largest number of pencils in each pack is 8.

Each game was $44.99, if she spent a total of 284.97 and we subtract the cost of the console 284.97 - 194.99 = 89.98, since the two games were equally priced we divide 89.98/2 and get $44.98

The angle bisector of ∠ACD in rhombus ABCD makes a 64° angle with the diagonal BD. Find the measure of ∠BAD.
saveliy_v [14]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
the diagonals of a rhombus intersect to form right angles, 
so
angle ACE is ----------> (90°-64°)-----------> 26° 
ACE is the angle bisector of ACD, this means that ACD is ---------> 26 x 2 = 52°

 The diagonals are angle bisectors to the opposite corners
so 
ACD = ACB = 52° 
and 
BCD = 52 x 2 = 104°
For a rhombus, opposite angles are equivalent,
so 
BAD = BCD = 104°

the answer is 
angle BAD=104°
