Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
Answer:
angle b is 30 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
a right angle is 90 degrees so you can do 90 -60 witch gets you 30 degrees
Answer:
6.63 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The segments within the circle form a right angle. Triangle CRS as a right triangle must follow the Pythagorean theorem which says the square of each leg adds to the square of the hypotenuse.
a² + b² = c²
Here a is unknown, b = 10 and c = 12.
a² + 10² = 12²
a² + 100 = 144
a² = 44
a = √44 = 6.63
Answer:
Rule: If working with an inequality and you either mult. or div. by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol.
Step-by-step explanation:
Your job here is to simplify 9t-4>32, in which the variable (t) is already positive. Here you do NOT switch signs or reverse the direction of the inequality symbol. Adding 4 to both sides, we get 9t > 36, or t > 4.
If, however, you had -9t-4>32 to work with, the situation would be different because t in this inequality is negative. Adding 4 to both sides results in:
-9t > 36. To solve for t, we must divide both sides by -9 AND reverse the direction of the inequality symbol:
t < -4.
Rule: If working with an inequality and you either mult. or div. by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol.
The tangent function gives the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance in this case.
.. vertical distance = (horizontal distance)*tan(angle of depression)
.. = (40 m)*tan(50°)
.. vertical distance ≈ 47.7 m
