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°.

Can you please explain how to write the ratios for sin x and cos x? When angles are x, y, and z. The hypotenuse being 12 and is
Kamila [148]
Your triangle has acute angles X and Y, and right angle Z.

For an acute angle A in a right triangle:

The sine is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse.
sin A = opp/hyp

The cosine is the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse.
cos A = adj/opp

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest side of a right triangle. There is only one hypotenuse in a triangle, so there is no confusion with the hypotenuse.

The two sides that form the right angle are called the legs. Each leg is opposite an acute angle. The legs may or may not be congruent to each other, but each leg is always shorter than the hypotenuse. Since there are two legs, we need to be able to distinguish them. If you take an acute angle as your angle of interest, the leg that is part of the angle is called the adjacent leg. The other leg is the opposite leg. Adjacent leg and opposite leg are relative terms. They depend on the acute angle you are considering.

For your triangle, if you look at angle X, then the adjacent leg is side XZ. The opposite leg for angle X is side YZ.

Using the ratios mentioned above for sine and cosine, you get:

sin X = opp/hyp = sqrt(119)/12

cos X = adj/hyp = 5/12

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The confidence interval based on the paired design is wider because there is little variation in mileage between the cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size randomly collected is matched sample and since the confidence interval is based on the paired design is large and wide. There is small variation between the mileage of the two cars indicating the cars have mileage based on the fuel.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

16 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Steps to answering this question </u>

  1. determine how many eggs would be required to make one cookies
  2. Multiply the answer gotten above by the number of cookies

Number of eggs needed for one cookie = 4/30 = 0.1333

Number of eggs needed for 120 cookies = 0.1333 x 120 = 16 eggs
