Answer:
We have a + b as;
2 + 3 = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want go get the value of a and b
from the second equation, we can get an expression for b
We have this as;
7a - b = 11
Thus,
b = 7a - 11
Now, from here, we can substitute the value of b into the first equation
We have this as;
5a + 4(7a - 11) = 22
5a + 28a -44 = 22
33a = 22 + 44
33a = 66
a = 66/33
a = 2
Recall;
b = 7a - 11
substituting the value of a from above;
b = 7(2) - 11
b = 14 - 11
b = 3
Its an indirect proof, so 3 steps :-
1) you start with the opposite of wat u need to prove
2) arrive at a contradiction
3) concludeReport · 29/6/2015261
since you wanto prove 'diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other', you start wid the opposite of above statement, like below :- step1 : Since we want to prove 'diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other', lets start by assuming the opposite, that the diagonals of parallelogram dont bisect each other.Report · 29/6/2015261
Since, we assumed that the diagonals dont bisect each other,
OC≠OA
OD≠OBReport · 29/6/2015261
Since, OC≠OA, △OAD is not congruent to △OCBReport · 29/6/2015261
∠AOD≅∠BOC as they are vertical angles,
∠OAD≅∠OCB they are alternate interior angles
AD≅BC, by definition of parallelogram
so, by AAS, △OAD is congruent to △OCBReport · 29/6/2015261
But, thats a contradiction as we have previously established that those triangles are congruentReport · 29/6/2015261
step3 :
since we arrived at a contradiction, our assumption is wrong. so, the opposite of our assumption must be correct. so diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.
Answer:
(19x - 1)° = 56°
(13x - 5)° = 34°
Step-by-step explanation:
Property of the interior angles of a triangle:
Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Therefore, sum of angles of the given right triangle will be,
(19x - 1)° + (13x - 5)° + 90° = 180°
32x - 6 + 90 = 180
32x = 96
x = 3
(19x - 1)° = 19×3 - 1 = 56°
(13x - 5)° = 13×3 - 5 = 34°
Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.
