2,640 this year
2,112 last year

the 1760 is 20% less than - so 120% of 1760 is the previous year:
1760 * 1.2 = 2112

2112 increased by 25% is a total of 125%: 
2112 *1.25 = 2640

Step 1 - 1760 ÷ 0.8 = 2200 ⇒This represents the # of conference participants                       form last year (decreased by 20%)

Step 2 - 2200 × 1.25 = 2750 ⇒ This represents the # of conference participants from this year (increased by 25%)

Step 3 - 2750 - 2200 = 550 ⇒ This represents the difference between last year's and this year's # of conference participants

Angle measures and segment lengths. Algebra Find the value of each variable.
Katyanochek1 [597]

(9)

<em>x</em> ° = 1/2 (130° - 30°) = 50°

(due to a theorem about intersecting secants/tangents)

(11) The labeled angle subtends a minor arc of meaure 120°, which means the larger arc has a measure of 360° - 120° = 240°. Then

<em>x</em> ° = 1/2 (240° - 120°) = 60°

(due to the same theorem)

(13) The labeling here is a bit confusing. I'm not sure what the 70° is referring to. It occurs to me that it might be info from a different exercise, so that <em>y </em>° is the measure of the angle made by the tangent to the circle with a vertex of the pentagon, and <em>x</em> ° is the measure of each arc that passes over an edge of the pentagon.

Each arc makes up 1/5 of the circle's circumferece, so

<em>x</em> ° = 360°/5 = 72°

The pentagon is regular, so each of its interior angles have the same measure of 108°. (Why 108°? Each exterior angle measures 360°/5 = 72°, since the exterior angles sum to 360°. Interior and exterior angles are supplementary, so the interior angles measure 180° - 72° = 108° each.)

The angles formed by the tangent to the circle are supplementary, so that

<em>y</em> ° + 108° + <em>y</em> ° = 180°

2<em>y</em> ° = 72°

<em>y</em> ° = 36°
