The transitive property is a chain rule for the variables a, b and c.

It states that if a is equal to b and b is equal to c then a is equal to c.

If a = b and b = c then a = c.

Find the missing angles

lora16 [44]

Let's find a.

We are given a right angle which is 90° and an angle marked by "a" next to it. We know that when they are added together, they make a supplementary angle so we can make a equationa and solve.

90 + a = 180

a = 90°

Let's find b.

By looking at the graph, we can tell that the angle "b" and the angle that measures 163° is the same. Thus, b = 163°.

Let's find c.

Using what we did for a, we can solve for c using what we got for b. We can make an equation and solve.

163 + b = 180

c = 27°

Let's find d.

Using the angle that measures 70°, we can solve it like we did with a and c.

70 + d = 180

d = 110°

Let's find e.

Now that we know what d equals, we know that d and e make a supplmentary angle. So, make an equation and solve.

110 + e = 180

e = 70°

Best of Luck!

Mai received a $70 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying coffee that cost $8.48 per pound. After buying the coffee

Yuri [45]

Since she had $35.48 on her card.

Amount spent in buying coffee = $70 - $35.48 = $34.52

Cost of coffee = $8.63 per pound

No of pounds = Amount spent / cost per pound

= 34.52 / 8.63 Use your calculator.

= 4
