Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.
... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate
Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).
... CA is 15 in.
Two supplementary angles always adds up to 180 degrees. If an angle is 67.2 degrees less than the measure of a supplementary angle, an equation can be formed where "A" represents the larger angle, and (A - 67.2) represents the smaller angle.
(A - 67.2)+A=180
(Combine the A's)
2A - 67.2=180
(Add 67.2 to both sides)
2A = 247.2
(Divide by 2 to both sides)
A = 123.6
123.6 degrees is the larger angle.
The smaller angle is represented by (A - 67.2). We now know the value of A so lets plug it in. (123.6 - 67.2) = 56.4. 56.4 is the value of the smaller angle.
We can double check to make sure we got the right answer.
123.6 + 56.4 = 180
I think one of the answers would be 9.82
Answer:
x = 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
17x+1+20x-14 = 90
Combine like terms.
37x-13 = 90
Add 13 on both sides.
37x-13 = 90
<u>+13 +13</u>
37x = 103
Divide both sides by 37.
37x = 103
<u>/37 /37</u>
x = 2.8
(I rounded up, but if you need a more specific number, just search up 103 divided by 37.)
Hopefully this helps you!! Have an amazing day c:
