The measure of the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is one- fourth that of a base angle

Mathematics

horsena [70]4 years ago

Answer:

Base angle = 72

Vertex angle = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of the base angle = x. But there are two of them. (Definition of isosceles).  Keep that in mind.

The vertex angle is 1/4 of one of the base angles. That means that the vertex is 1/4 x

All three angles = 180 degrees.

So we have x + x + x/4 = 180 degrees.

change 1/4x to 0.25x x since 1/4 = 0.25

Equation

x + x + 0.25 = 180

2.5x  = 180

Solution

2.5x = 180                      Divide by 2.5 on both sides

2.5x/2.5 = 180/2.5

x = 72

Answer

That means that each base angle = 72 degrees

The Vertex Angle = 72/4 = 18

Find the equation of the line that
olganol [36]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal gradients(slopes) so the slope of your new line would be 1/2. Then you use the point to find the new y-intercept

y=mx+b

2=\frac{1}{2}(8)+b

2=4+b

B=-2

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOs) of major corpor
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 136 mm Hg  

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu\neq 136 mm Hg

In this context type I error is rejecting that the μ is equal to 136 mm Hg when in fact μ is equal to 136 mm Hg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article.

He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 126 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 18 mm Hg.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 136 mm Hg     {means that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is 136 mm Hg}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu\neq 136 mm Hg      {means that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is 136 mm Hg}

Type I error states that the null hypothesis is rejected when in fact the null hypothesis was true. So, in this context type I error is rejecting that the μ is equal to 136 mm Hg when in fact μ is equal to 136 mm Hg.

Suppose the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis. It means the researcher is making a type I error.

Answer:

<h2><u>[A] 0</u></h2>

Explanation:

  • <u>Lines of symmetry; A line that cuts a shape exactly in half</u>

If you were to put a line of symmetry down and fold the shape in half on that line, both halves would match exactly.

  • If you were to put a line of symmetry down on <u>this triangle</u> both sides <u>would not match</u>, therefore there are no lines of symmetry.
<h3><u>There are zero lines of symmetry, therefore your answer is [A] 0</u></h3>
