Answer: the total number of coupon books sold is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coupon books that Mario sold.

Let y represent the number of coupon books that Luigi sold.

Apparently, Mario is a much better salesperson, because he sold 4 times as many coupon books as Luigi. This is expressed as

x = 4y

If Luigi sold 12 fewer coupon books than Mario, the expression would be

x = y + 12 - - - - - - - - - - -- -1

Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes

4y = y + 12

4y - y = 12

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

x = 4y = 4 × 4

x = 16

The total number of coupon books that the two boys sold is

4 + 16 = 20

Find missing angle.
Vsevolod [243]
I don’t really know exactly to what degree you need to put in your solution. But I rounded to the nearest tenth degree.
A = 112 degrees
B= 28 degrees (180-112-40 bc all sides of a triangle must equal 180)
C= 40
a= 27.6 (this is the side opposite of angle A)
b= 14 (side opposite b)
c= 19.2 (side opposite c)

HOW TO SOLVE:
c= law of sines, so c/sin(40) = 14/sin(28), multiply both sides by sin(40) so c can be isolated and solved for. c = 14sin(40)/sin(28). Plug into calculator then get answer. c is approximately 19.2.
a = law of sines again, so a/sin(112) = 14/sin(28). Multiply both sides again by sin(112) then solve. a = 14sin(112)/sin(28). Calculator again. a is around 27.6

Answer:

n= 75

y= 75

z= 50

p= 105

other n across from p= 105

Step-by-step explanation:

n and y are the same since the triangle is isoseles.

p is supplemetary to n

z and 50 are opposites in a quadrilateral

Answer:

Irregular polygons are polygons that do not have equal sides or equal angles. When finding the area of an irregular polygon, partition the polygon into smaller regular polygon shapes. You can then plug those measurements into their respective area formulas and multiply to find the area of one part of the shape.

This is 16cm.
