weqwewe [10]

Complete Question:

The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of D is five-halves the measure of Y. Find the measure of each angle of the deck.

Answer:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Parallelogram DGRY

Dimension: $\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

Required

Find the measure of each angle

D and R are opposite sides & G and Y are also opposite sides.

So, we have:

$\angle D = \angle R = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

and

$\angle G = \angle Y$

The sum of angles is given as:

$\angle D + \angle G + \angle R + \angle Y=360^{\circ}$

Substitute values for $\angle D, \angle G \ \& \angle R$

$\frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \angle Y + \angle Y = 360^{\circ}$

Take LCM

$\frac{5\angle Y + 5\angle Y + 2\angle Y+ 2\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

$\frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{14}$

$\frac{2}{14} * \frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{ 360^{\circ} *2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{720^{\circ}}{14}$

$\angle Y= 51.43 ^{\circ}$

So:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2} * 51.43^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5* 51.43^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = \frac{257.15^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Hence:

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

The expression below represents the distance between two points on a number line.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|-5 - 4|

The expression represents the absolute value of - 5 - 4 ;

-5 - 4 = - 9

|-5-4| = 9

Hence, the distance between the two points is 9.

Hence, the number line which shows the two points is A.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river. After 2 hours the motorboat turns aroun

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

motorboat = x + y mph

raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

motorboat = t(x - y) miles

raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

$2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours$
