let's bear in mind that a flat-line has 180°°, therefore a + b + c = 180.

now, that total of 180 is split in a ratio of 3:4:1, what we do to get the values is simply divide the total by (3+4+1) and distribute accordingly.

\bf \stackrel{a}{3\cdot \frac{180}{3+4+1}}~~:~~\stackrel{b}{4\cdot \frac{180}{3+4+1}}~~:~~\stackrel{c}{1\cdot \frac{180}{3+4+1}}\implies~\hfill \stackrel{a}{3\cdot \cfrac{45}{2}}~~:~~\stackrel{b}{4\cdot \cfrac{45}{2}}~~:~~\stackrel{c}{1\cdot \cfrac{45}{2}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{a}{\cfrac{135}{2}}~~:~~\stackrel{b}{90}~~:~~\stackrel{c}{\cfrac{45}{2}}\qquad \qquad \boxed{a = 67.5^o}

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is divided up into 3 parts, a part of 3, a part of 4, and a part of 1.  If we had those parts together we get 8 meaning if we divided the line into equal parts that also fit into a, b, and c there would be 8.  We can than divide the line into 8 parts which would be 10 each since a line is 180 degrees.  Since a is 3 than a gets 3 of those parts meaning a would be 30

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

What is the solution to −1/4(d+1)<2
kogti [31]

Answer:

d > -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{1}{4}(d + 1) < 2

First, multiply both sides by -4. You must also change the inequality sign since you are multiplying both sides by a negative number.

-4 \times \left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(d + 1) > 2 \times (-4)

d + 1 > -8

Subtract 1 from both sides.

d + 1 - 1 > -8 - 1

d > -9

Subtract the cube root of the product of h and 3k from the square of the sum of p and q​
ehidna [41]

Answer:

(p + q)²            -          ∛(h·3k)   or   (p + q)² - ∛(h·3k)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube root of x:  ∛x

Product of h and 3k:  h·3k

Sum of p and q:  p + q

*****************************

From (p + q)²      subtract ∛(h·3k)      This becomes, symbolically:

=>       (p + q)²            -          ∛(h·3k)
