Answer: y = - 466.375

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies jointly as x and z.

This means that y varies directly as x and also varies directly as z.

In order to remove the proportionality symbol, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,

y = kxz

The next step is to determine the value of k

if y = 205 when x = –5 and z = –8.

we will substitute these values into the equation to determine k.

205 = k × -5 × -8

205 = 40k

k = 205/40 = 5.125

Therefore, the equation becomes

y = 5.125xz

We want to determine y when x = - 13 and z = 7

y = 5.125 × - 13 × 7

y = 5.125 × - 91

y = - 466.375

The vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is 8 times the measure of the base angle. find the measure of the base angle
Yuki888 [10]
For this problem, if we used b to represent your base angle measurement, you would add 8b+2b and set it equal to 180. This is because the measure of the vertex angle is 8 times the base angle measurement, so we had to multiply b by 8. We also had to add it to the other angle measures, so the other angle measures are represented as 2b since they are the same length. We then have to set this equal to 180 since that measures of a triangle must add up to 180. Then we combine like terms on our “b” side to get 10b=180. Then we divide both sides by 10 and we get b=18, which is the measure of our base angle.
