Triangle XYZ is isosceles. Angle Y measures a°. What expression represents the measure of angle X?

1 answer:

4 0

The isosceles triangle has two sides congruent which mean they are equal. If two sides are equal, it also means that two angles are equal.

For triangle XYZ, we have angles shown below:
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°

If ∠Y = a°, then we can have the expression for ∠X such as shown below:
∠X + a° + ∠Z =180°
∠X= 180° - a° - ∠Z

If ∠Z = ∠Y, then we have the final expression:
∠X = 180° -2a°

samantha threw an apple out of a window from the tenth floor of her appartment building. the equation y = -16t^2+120 can be used

ella [17]

Answer:
time taken = 2.74 seconds

Explanation:
We are given that:
y = -16t² + 120 models the situation where:
y is the floor number
t is the time taken for the apple to hit the ground

We are also given that the floor number (y) is 10. Therefore, all we have to do is substitute with y in the above equation and solve for the time t as follows:
y = -16t² + 120
10 = -16t² + 120
120 - 10 = 16t²
110 = 16t²
t² = 110/16
t² = 6.875
either t = 2.74 seconds ..........> accepted
or t = -2.74 seconds .........> rejected as time cannot be in negative

Hope this helps :)

cho tứ giác ABCD. Gọi M,N,P,Q là trung điểm của các cạnh AB, CD, AD, BC. Chứng minh rằng vecto MP = vecto QN, vecto MQ = vecto P

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Xét tam giác DAB có: P là trung điểm AD, M là trung điểm AB

=> MP là đường trung bình của tam giác DAB => MP//BD và MP= $\frac{1}{2}$ BD (1)
