Answer:

x=11 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a property of a triangle where the sum of two of the interior angles is equal to 180-(last interior angle). In this case, 180-(last interior angle) is equal to 7x-1, because angles BAE and BAC are supplementary, which means that they add up to 180 degrees.

So, we can set up an equation

(56)+(2x-2)=(7x-1)

Solving, we get

56+2x-2=7x-1

56-2=5x-1

54+1=5x

55=5x

11=x

c = unknown

a = 4c

120 = 2a + 2c

120 = 2(4c) + 2c

120 = 8c + 2c

120 = 10c

120/10 = 10c/10

c = 12

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 m and its length is twice its width. find the length of the rectangle

GREYUIT [131]

Length = 2W

P= 2L + 2W
60 = 2(2W) + 2W
60= 4W +2W
60 = 6W
60/6W = 6W/6W
w = 10
Length = 2(10)
Length = 20

P= 2L + 2W
60= 2(20) + 2(10)
60= 40 +20
60 = 60
