Plz HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!<br><br>1. Consider the picture below. Find the measure of ∠CEA.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

  103°

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked angles have the same measure, so ...

  14x+7 = 12x +17

  2x = 10 . . . . . subtract 12x+7

  x = 5 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (14x +7)° = 77°

∠CEA is supplementary to the marked angles:

  ∠CEA = 180° -77°

  ∠CEA = 103°

Two factors are multiplied and their product it 34.44. One factor is a whole number. What is the least number of decimal places
Tanya [424]
The answer is 2, because if a number is a whole number, for example 2, you must multiply it by a number with 2 decimals, in this case 17.77, to get 34.44 based on this example.


*There are some cases where this doesn't apply, I think, but it does apply for your question.
