Solution:
<u>Simplify the equation and solve for r.</u>
- r/16 + 6 = 7
- => r/16 = 7 - 6
- => r/16 = 1
- => r = 16
The value of r is 16.
<u>Check:</u>
- r/16 + 6 = 7
- => 16/16 + 6 = 7
- => 1 + 6 = 7
- => 7 = 7 (Proved correct)
C is your answer. The coefficient on the x value is always a stretch factor.
The rest of the question is the attached figure
========================================
solution:
========
As show in the attached figure
∠M = ∠R = 54.4°
∠N = ∠T = 71.2°
∠O = 180° - (∠M + ∠N) = 180° - (54.4°+71.2°) = 54.4°
∠S = 180° - (∠R + ∠T) = 180° - (54.4°+71.2°) = 54.4°
∠O = ∠S = 36°
∴ Δ MNO is similar to Δ RTS
So, the correct statement:
The triangles each have two given angle measures and one unknown angle measure.
The correct answer choice is D.
