Since ΔABC is isosceles, m∠CAB = m∠CBA

Let m∠CAB = m∠CBA = y.

As HM || DG, JK || AB and JA, KB are transversals.

Therefore, m∠CAB = m∠CJK and m∠CBA = m∠CKJ (Corresponding angles)

So, m∠CJK = m∠CKJ= y.

m∠CLM = m∠CFG = 8x (Corresponding angles)

Now, m∠CJI = 7x - 25 and m∠CKL = 8x - 42 (Exterior angle theorem)

Note that m∠CJK + m∠CJI = 180 and

                m∠CKJ + m∠CKL = 180 (Linear pairs)

Therefore, y + (7x - 25) = 180   (1)

                  y + (8x - 42) = 180   (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get,

x - 17 = 0

x = 17 degrees

y + (7x - 25) = 180

y + [7(17) - 25] = 180

y + 119 - 25 = 180

y + 94 = 180

y = 180 - 94 = 86

Therefore, m∠CAB = m∠CBA = 86 degrees

1. Start with ΔCIJ.

  • ∠HIC and ∠CIJ are supplementary, then m∠CIJ=180°-7x;
  • the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCIJ is 180°, then m∠CJI=180°-m∠JCI-m∠CIJ=180°-25°-(180°-7x)=7x-25°;
  • ∠CJI and ∠KJA are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠KJA =m∠CJI=7x-25°.

2. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠KJA and ∠JAB are consecutive interior angles, then m∠KJA+m∠JAB=180°. So

m∠JAB=180°-m∠KJA=180°-(7x-25°)=205°-7x.

3. Consider ΔCKL.

  • ∠LFG and ∠CLM are corresponding angles, then m∠LFG=m∠CLM=8x;
  • ∠CLM and ∠CLK are supplementary, then m∠CLM+m∠CLK=180°, m∠CLK=180°-8x;
  • the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCLK is 180°, then m∠CKL=180°-m∠CLK-m∠LCK=180°-(180°-8x)-42°=8x-42°;
  • ∠CKL and ∠JKB are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠JKB =m∠CKL=8x-42°.

4. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠JKB and ∠KBA are consecutive interior angles, then m∠JKB+m∠KBA=180°. So

m∠KBA=180°-m∠JKB=180°-(8x-42°)=222°-8x.

5. ΔABC is isosceles, then angles adjacent to the base are congruent:

m∠KBA=m∠JAB → 222°-8x=205°-7x,

7x-8x=205°-222°,

-x=-17°,

x=17°.

Then m∠CAB=m∠CBA=205°-7x=86°.

Answer: 86°.

The population of Detroit, Michigan, decreased from 1,027,974 in 1990 to 688,701 in 2013 (Source: U.S. Census Bureau). Find the
AleksandrR [38]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

to get the slope of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use the ones provided in that

\begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{years}{x}&\stackrel{population}{y}\\ \cline{1-2} 1990&1027974\\ 2013&688701\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}\hspace{5em} (\stackrel{x_1}{1990}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1027974})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2013}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{688701}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{688701}-\stackrel{y1}{1027974}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2013}-\underset{x_1}{1990}}} \implies \cfrac{-339273}{23}\implies -14751\qquad \stackrel{rate~of}{change}

let's notice, is negative since the population decreased.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONS AID?
