If mRS=x then write an equation that could be used to solve for x and find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a) x = 30°

b) mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

Question:

The complete question as found on Chegg website:

In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs

intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:

mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3

(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x

and find the value of x.

(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.

mRS =

mST =

MTU

MUR =

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the diagram related to the question

mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3

Since mRS = x

Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:

mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x

The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)

mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°

x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30°

b) The measure of angle

mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

<h2>1529.4 m³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid can be found by using the formula

v =  \frac{1}{3}  \times a \times h \\

a is the area of the base

h is the height

Since the base is a square we have

v =  \frac{1}{3}  \times  {15.3}^{2}  \times 19.6 \\  = 78.03 \times 19.6 \\  = 1529.388

We have the final answer as

<h3>1529.4 m³</h3>

Hope this helps you

You are sitting on the ground flying a kite.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Height of the kite = 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle attached in the figure shows the complete picture,

I am sitting at point A, string connecting the kite and me is side AC, height of the kite from the ground is side BC and side AB representing the distance between me and the kite.

Length of side BC = h

Length of side AC = 39 feet

Length of side AB = 15 feet

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

AC² = AB² + BC²

(39)² = (15)² + h²

h² = 1521 - 225

h² = 1296

h = √1296

h = 36 feet

Therefore, kite is at 36 feet height.
