A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC b

elow is equal to the measure of the exterior angle.
Step 1: m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 90 degrees (sum of adjacent angles)
Step 2: m∠w + m∠z = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = m∠w + m∠z
Step 4: So, m∠x + m∠y = m∠w

In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected?

Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (corresponding angles)
Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 90 degrees (supplementary angles)
Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 90 degrees (adjacent angles)

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The according to the angle sum property of triangle, the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Step 1: According to the student in triangle ABC,

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=90^{\circ}

Which is not correct because the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. So, he did a mistake in step 1.

In triangle ABC,

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=180^{\circ}    ... (1)       (sum of angles of a triangle)

Step 2: \angle w+\angle z=180^{\circ}     .... (2)    (supplementary angles)

Step 3: Equating (1) and (2), we get

\angle x+\angle y+\angle z=\angle w+\angle z

Stpe 4: \angle x+\angle y=\angle w

Therefore the correct option is 1.

The correct answer is A.  All triangles' interior angles equal 180.

What is the measure of the base in the triangle below?
lesantik [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

AC+CB+BA=180

2x+23+3x-8+4x+1=180

9x+16=180

9x=180-16

9x=164

x=164/9

x=18.2

The highlighted part of the triangle is an angle. It is on the inside of the triangle and formed by two sides coming together.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the distance between points (5,1) and (3,4) to the nearest tenth
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

3.6 units (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

= \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

Thus, distance between the 2 points

= √[(5 - 3)² + (1 - 4)²]

= √[ 2²+ ( - 3)²]

= √13

= 3.6 units (nearest tenth)

cluponka [151]
Since 3 ounces=21 g of protein, you would multiply 21 g x 3, because 6 ounces would = 42g. using that principle 3×3 = 9 & 21×3 = 63.
