So it is an isosceles triangle that means that the bottom two angles are equal...
so
40 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 and you get 8
now the triangle angles add up to 180
we make an equation out of it...
(2y + 20 ) + ( 5(8)) + 40 = 180
2y + 20 + 40 + 40 = 180
combine like terms
2y + 100 = 180
so subtract 100 from both sides
2y = 80
divide by 2 to isolate the variable
y = 40
You are correct!!! :)
The correct answer is: [D]: " 7.2 units" .

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c² ;
in which: "6 units" and "4 units" equal the lengths of the right angle (formed by the rectangle); and "c" is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, or the "hypotenuse", of the right triangle formed by the rectangle; We wish to solve for "c" ;
_______________________________________________
6² + 4² = c² ; Solve for "c" ;
↔ c² = 6² + 4² ;
= (6*6) + (4*4) ;
= 36 + 16 ;
= 52 ;
c² = 52 ;
Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ;
√(c²) = √52 ;
c = √52 ;
At this point, we know the 7² = 49 ; 8² = 64 ; so, the answer is somewhere between "7" and "8" ; yet closer to "7" ; so among the answer choices given;
The correct answer is: [D]: " 7.2 units" .

However, let use a calculator:
c = √52 = 7.2111025509279786 ; which rounds to "7.2" ;
which corresponds to:

Answer:
She did not consider the multiplicative inverse property of a real number
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacinta in her conclusion did not consider the Multiplicative Inverse property of real numbers.
Let x be an irrational number.
So,
If x is an irrational number, then its reverse is also an irrational number. So by the Multiplicative Inverse property their product is 1 and 1 is a rational number. Thus, Jacinta was incorrect.
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is the same as rise over run, or y/x. In this case, rise over run is 15 over 40, or 15/40. Simplified, this is 3/8.
