Answer:We can use equations to represent the measures of the angles described above. One equation might tell us the sum of the angles of the triangle. For example,

x + y + z = 180

We know this is true, because the sum of the angles inside a triangle is always 180 degrees. What is w? We don't know yet. But, we may observe that the measure of angle w plus the measure of angle z = 180 degrees, because they are a pair of supplementary angles. Notice how Z and W together make a straight line? That's 180 degrees. So, we can make a new equation:

w + z = 180

Then, if we combine the two equations above, we can determine that the measure of angle w = x + y. Here's how to do that:

x + y + z = 180 (this is the first equation)

w + z = 180 (this is the second equation)

Now, rewrite the second equation as z = 180 - w and substitute that for z in the first equation:

x + y + (180 - w) = 180

x + y - w = 0

x + y = w

Interesting. This tells us that the measure of the exterior angle equals the total of the other two interior angles. In fact, there is a theorem called the Exterior Angle Theorem which further explores this relationship:

Exterior Angle Theorem

The measure of an exterior angle (our w) of a triangle equals to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles (our x and y) of the triangle.

Let's try two example problems.

Example A:

If the measure of the exterior angle is (3x - 10) degrees, and the measure of the two remote interior angles are 25 degrees and (x + 15) degrees, find x.

First example of finding an exterior angle

To solve, we use the fact that W = X + Y. Note that here I'm referring to the angles W, X, and Y as shown in the first image of this lesson. Their names are not important. What is important is that an exterior angle equals the sum of the remote interior angles.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

4E and LA are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right

angles are congruent. Is - 15 over 5 and 12 over 4shows the corresponding sides are proportional;

therefore, ABC ~ AEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

\text {CI} = (60.54, \: 81.46)\\\\

Therefore, we are 95% confident that actual mean savings for a televisit to the doctor is within the interval of ($60.54 to $81.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find out the mean savings for a televisit to the doctor from the given data.

Using Excel,

=AVERAGE(number1, number2,....)

The mean is found to be

\bar{x} = \$71  

Let us find out the standard deviation of savings for a televisit to the doctor from the given data.

Using Excel,

=STDEV(number1, number2,....)

The standard deviation is found to be

 s = \$ 22.35

The confidence interval is given by

\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\

Where the margin of error is given by

$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\

Where n is the sample of 20 online doctor visits, s is the sample standard deviation and t_{\alpha/2} is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.

The t-score is given by is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 19

t-score = 2.093

So, the margin of error is

MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\MoE = 2.093\cdot \frac{22.35}{\sqrt{20} } \\\\MoE = 2.093\cdot 4.997\\\\MoE = 10.46\\\\

So the required 95% confidence interval is

\text {CI} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\\text {CI} = 71 \pm 10.46\\\\\text {CI} = 71 - 10.46, \: 71 + 10.46\\\\\text {CI} = (60.54, \: 81.46)\\\\

Therefore, we are 95% confident that actual mean savings for a televisit to the doctor is within the interval of ($60.54 to $81.46)

Given the following sets:
hjlf
<h3>Answer:  10</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Even though your teacher doesn't want you to list the items of the set, it helps to do so.

We'll be working with these two sets

A = {b, d, f, h, j, I, n, p, r, t}

C =  {d, h, I, p, t}

When we union them together, we combine the two sets together. Think of it like throwing all the letters in one bin rather than two bins.

A u C = {b, d, f, h, j, I, n, p, r, t,   d, h, I, p, t  }

The stuff that isn't bolded is set A, while the stuff that is bolded is set C

After we toss out the duplicates, we end up with this

A u C = {b, d, f, h, j, I, n, p, r, t}

But wait, that's just set A. Notice how everything in set C can be found in set A. This indicates set C is a subset of set A.

That's why all of the stuff in bold was tossed out (because they were duplicates of stuff already mentioned).

Once we determine what set A u C looks like, we count out the number of items in that set to determine the final answer.

There are 10 items in {b, d, f, h, j, I, n, p, r, t} which means 10 is the final answer.

----------------------------

An alternative method is to use the formula below

n(A u C) = n(A) + n(C) - n(A and C)

n(A u C) = 10 + 5 - 5

n(A u C) = 10

The notation n(A and C) counts how many items are found in both sets A and C at the same time. But as mentioned earlier, this is identical to just counting how many items are in set C. So we'll have n(C) cancel out with itself.

In short, n(A u C) = n(A) = 10
