Find the m ∠YXZ. Show your Work
1 answer:
Answer:
∠YXZ = 62°
Step-by-step explanation:
A straight line measures 180 degrees
The angle "8x - 14" PLUS its adjacent angle Z sum up to 180, so we can write:
Z + 8x - 14 = 180
Z = 180 +14 - 8x
Z = 194 - 8x
Sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, thus we can write:
X + Y + Z = 180
3x + 5 + 4x + 194 - 8x = 180
Now, we solve for x:
The measure of ∠YXZ is "3x + 5", we substitute the value of x and find this angle to be:
3x + 5
3(19) + 5
62
Thus,
∠YXZ = 62°

No, a parallelogram is not a rectangle. meaning it has a completely different area formula, I know it sucks.
Formula: base × height

well, in short, the students and chaperones are at a 2 : 9 ratio, and we know there are 171 students, how many chaperones then, so long they maintain a 2:9 ratio?
