Problem 1
x = measure of angle N
2x = measure of angle M, twice as large as N
3(2x) = 6x = measure of angle O, three times as large as M
The three angles add to 180 which is true of any triangle.
M+N+O = 180
x+2x+6x = 180
9x = 180
x = 180/9
x = 20 is the measure of angle N
Use this x value to find that 2x = 2*20 = 40 and 6x = 6*20 = 120 to represent the measures of angles M and O in that order.
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Angle M = 40 degrees
- Angle N = 20 degrees
- Angle O = 120 degrees
====================================================
Problem 2
n = number of sides
S = sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides
S = 180(n-2)
2700 = 180(n-2)
n-2 = 2700/180
n-2 = 15
n = 15+2
n = 17
<h3>Answer: 17 sides</h3>
====================================================
Problem 3
x = smaller acute angle
3x = larger acute angle, three times as large
For any right triangle, the two acute angles always add to 90.
x+3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 90/4
x = 22.5
This leads to 3x = 3*22.5 = 67.5
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Smaller acute angle = 22.5 degrees
- Larger acute angle = 67.5 degrees
First of all, the modular inverse of n modulo k can only exist if GCD(n, k) = 1.
We have
130 = 2 • 5 • 13
231 = 3 • 7 • 11
so n must be free of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, which are the first six primes. It follows that n = 17 must the least integer that satisfies the conditions.
To verify the claim, we try to solve the system of congruences
Use the Euclidean algorithm to express 1 as a linear combination of 130 and 17:
130 = 7 • 17 + 11
17 = 1 • 11 + 6
11 = 1 • 6 + 5
6 = 1 • 5 + 1
⇒ 1 = 23 • 17 - 3 • 130
Then
23 • 17 - 3 • 130 ≡ 23 • 17 ≡ 1 (mod 130)
so that x = 23.
Repeat for 231 and 17:
231 = 13 • 17 + 10
17 = 1 • 10 + 7
10 = 1 • 7 + 3
7 = 2 • 3 + 1
⇒ 1 = 68 • 17 - 5 • 231
Then
68 • 17 - 5 • 231 ≡ = 68 • 17 ≡ 1 (mod 231)
so that y = 68.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Wilbur with W and Orville with O
The equation connecting both flights is
W - 120 = O
W = 364 feet
364 - 120 = 246
O = 246
<span>Stephen and Aaron solved the same equation using two separate methods. Their work is shown in the table below:
Stephen Aaron:
3x - 2 = 5x - 6 3x - 2 = 5x - 6
3x - 2 + 2 = 5x - 6 + 2 3x - 3x - 2 = 5x - 3x - 6
3x = 5x - 4 -2 = 2x - 6
3x - 5x = 5x - 5x - 4 -2 - 6 = 2x
-2x = -4 -8 = 2x
x = 2 -4 = x
Identify who made the error and what he did wrong.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 3x.
Stephen made the error when he added 2.
Stephen made the error when he subtracted 5x.
answer:
</span>In the Aaron`s work:
- 2 = - 2 x - 6
and after that:
- 2 - 6 = 2 x
It should be:
- 2 + 6 = 2 x
or: - 2 + 6 = 2 x - 6 + 6
Answer:
A ) Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
