Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the numerator and y represent the denominator.

The numerator of a rational number is greater than its denominator by 3. It means that

x = y + 3

If the new number becomes 13/4 when the numerator is tripled and the denominator is decreased by 23, it means that

3x/(y - 23) = 13/4

Cross multiplying, it becomes

3x × 4 = 13(y - 23)

12x = 13y - 299- - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = y + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

12(y + 3) = 13y - 299

12y + 36 = 13y - 299

13y - 12y = 36 + 299

y = 335

x = y + 3 = 335 + 3

x = 338

The original number is 338/335

The si unit of measure for length—the meter—would be most appropriate when
Semenov [28]

There are seven SI base units which are used in science, every unit has its own property or use:

Meter (length)

Kilogram (mass)

Second (time)

Kelvin (temperature)

Mole (amount of substance)

Ampere (electrical unit) and

Candela (luminous intensity)

<span>The SI unit of measure for length (meter) would be most appropriate when we are measuring the distance between two places or when we are taking measurement of something.</span>

<h2>The missing measures of the angles are:</h2>

m\angle 1= 60^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 2= 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 3= 21^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 5 = 21^{\circ}

<u>Given</u>:

m\angle Z = 138^{\circ}

<em><u>Note the following:</u></em>

  • An equilateral triangle has all its three angles equal to each other. Each angle = 60^{\circ}.
  • This implies that, since \triangle WXY is equilateral, therefore, m\angle Y = m\angle XWY = m\angle XYW = 60^{\circ}

  • Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent to each other.
  • This implies that, since \triangle WZY is isosceles, therefore, m\angle 3 = \angle 5

Applying the above stated, let's find the measure of each angle:

  • Find m\angle 1

m\angle 1 = 60^{\circ} (an angle in an equilateral triangle equals 60 degrees)

  • Find m\angle 2

m\angle 2 = 60 - m \angle 3

m\angle 2 = 60 -\frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) (Note: \frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) = 1 $ base $ angle $ of $ \triangle WZY)

m\angle 2 = 60 -21\\\\m\angle 2 = 39^{\circ}

  • Find m\angle 3 and m\angle 5 (base angles of isosceles triangle WZY)

m\angle 3 =  \frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) (1 $ base $ angle $ of $ \triangle WZY)

m\angle 3 =  \frac{1}{2}(42) \\\\m\angle3 = 21^{\circ}

m\angle3 = m\angle 5 (base angles of isosceles triangle are congruent)

Therefore,

m\angle5 = 21^{\circ}

  • Find m\angle 4

m\angle 4 = 60 - m\angle 5

Substitute

m\angle 4 = 60 - 21\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}

The missing measures of the angles are:

m\angle 1= 60^{\circ}\\\\ m\angle 2= 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 3= 21^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 5 = 21^{\circ}

Mile is obsessed with her new book she started. She read 185 pages in 2 days. If she keeps up this pace about how many pages wil
inna [77]

Answer:

462.5 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

You find out how many books she reads in 1 day then you can multiply it by 5 to get 5 days.

If she reads 185 in 2 days. Divide 185 by 2 to get 1 day.

185/2 = 92.5 pages

Now multiply 92.5 by 5 to get how many pages she read after 5 days.

92.5 x 5 =    462.5 pages

Prove this trigonometric equation;<br><br> - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,
alekssr [168]
Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1    or    1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1 
Divide the whole by cos²x

\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} + \frac{cos^2x}{cos^2x} = \frac{1}{cos^2x}

\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx so \frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x
and
\frac{1}{cosx} = secx so \frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1
