to figure out the area you have to use the formula 1/2 base times height.
X has to be inside the radical.
It would be
Simplify the radical by breaking the radicand up into a product of known factors.
There are so many types of angles, let's see what we've got here!
--(5x - 17) and 48 are alternate interior angles, which means that they are congruent.
--(5x - 17) and y are supplementary angles.
--48 and y are same-side interior angles, which means that they are also supplementary.
Let's solve for x first.
5x - 17 = 48
5x = 65
x = 13
Now, let's solve for y.
48 + y = 180
y = 132
Hope this helps!! :)
You can set them equal to each other so -3x+4=4x-10 and then you add 3x and 10 on both sides and get7x=14 and then divided both sides by 7 and get x = 2 and check by plugging in and you get -2 for y on both so solution is x=2
Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
