Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The sides touching the right angle are the legs

Since this is right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2+b^2 = 5^2

9+b^2 = 25

Subtract 9 from each side

9-9+b^2 = 25-9

b^2 =16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(16)

b=4

A worker at a snack stand opened a new box of cups. The first day he used 30 cups , the second day the worker used 15 percent of

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first day he used 30 cups

the second day he used 15% of the remaining cups...a total of 90 cups were used on second day.

so 15%of the remaining cups = 90.....so if u let x be the total cups, then the remaining cups would be x - 30

15% of (x - 30) = 90.....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply

0.15(x - 30) = 90

0.15x - 4.5 = 90

0.15x = 90 + 4.5

0.15x = 94.5

x = 94.5 / 0.15

x = 630 total cups <==

lets check..

start with 630 cups....used 30 the first day....leaving u with 600 cups....15% of the remaining cups = 90.....so 15% of 600 = 90....lets check it

15%of 600 = 0.15(600) = 90...yep, thats correct....there were 630 cups in the new un-opened box

Given: is an angle bisector of ∠JMK<br><br><br>Prove: m

astraxan [27]

Answer:

An angle bisector is a line passing through the vertex of the angle that cuts the angle into two equal smaller angles.

Given: MN is angle bisector,

then

$\angle JMN \cong \angle NMK$ ....... [1]

Congruent angles are two or more angles that have the same measure.

then;

by definition of congruent angles

[1]⇒ $m\angle JMN = m\angle NMK$ ......[2]

By the Angle addition postulates states that if M is in the interior of ∠JMK then,

$m\angle JMN+m\angle NMK =m\angle JMK$ ......[3]

Now, by substitution property ; substitute the equation [2] in [3] we get;

$m\angle JMN+m\angle JMN =m\angle JMK$ ......[4]

Like terms terms whose variables are the same

Combine like terms in equation [4] we get

$2 \cdot m\angle JMN=m\angle JMK$ ......[5]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide by 2 to both sides in equation [5] , we get

$m\angle JMN= \frac{1}{2} m\angle JMK$
