Ignore the mess... I need help with #20 please and thank you
1 answer:
Because the triangle is isosceles, angle P and angle R are the same. Thus, your work would be:
. You then simplify this to 6x+4 + 196 - 8x = 180. Combine like terms, you get - 2x = - 20. x = 10.
Plug x = 10 back into the equation 98 - 4x to get 98 - 4(10) which becomes 98 - 40 = 58.
Angle P should be equal to 58 degrees.
To check your work add up the angles to see if they equal 180:
58 + 58 + 6(10) + 4 = 116 + 64 = 180.
Plug x = 10 back into the equation 98 - 4x to get 98 - 4(10) which becomes 98 - 40 = 58.
Angle P should be equal to 58 degrees.
To check your work add up the angles to see if they equal 180:
58 + 58 + 6(10) + 4 = 116 + 64 = 180.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>Percentages are used in mathematics as a decimal ratio expressed in a fraction of 100. It is represented with a symbol known as %.
At a book fair, the ratio of adults to children are:
7 : 3
The total number of people at the book fair = 7 + 3 = 10
The percentage of adults are:
= 70% are adults
The percentage of children are:
= 30% are children
However, if from the children, 4 are girls and 1 is a boy.
The total number of children at the fair = 4 + 1 = 5
The percentage of girls are:
= 24%
The percentage of boys at the book fair is:
= 6%
