Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form

$\frac{a}{b}$ , where a and b are integers

2.85 = 2 $\frac{85}{100}$ = $\frac{285}{100}$ ← a rational number

What is the value of x?

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

x =127

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a 6 sided figure, the sum of the interior angles is 720

128+133+112+x+120+100 = 720

Combine like terms

x+593=720

Subtract 593 from each side

x+593-593 = 720-593

x =127

Olin [163]

I assume u mean how many boys had attende the meeting. there are 60% boys, so lets think that there are 10 students where 6 are boys and four are girls.

if there had been one fewer girl we would have 9 students where there will be 6 boys.
boys: 6/9 => 2/3<=> 66.66% of the students are boys.

In rectangle WXYZ, A is on side WX such that AX = 4, B is on side YZ such that BY = 18, and C is on side XY such that angle ACB=

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:2*sqrt(130)

Step-by-step explanation: $From right triangle $AXC$, we have $\angle XAC = 90^\circ - \angle XCA$. We also must have $\angle YCB + \angle ACB + \angle XCA = 180^\circ$, so $\angle YCB = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - \angle XCA = 90^\circ - \angle XCA$, which means $\angle YCB = \angle XAC$. Combining this with $\angle X = \angle Y$, we have $\triangle XCA \sim \triangle YBC$ by AA Similarity, and\[\frac{CX}{AX} = \frac{BY}{CY},\]so\[\frac{CX}{4} = \frac{18}{2CX}.\]\\\\This gives us $2CX^2 = 72$, so $CX^2 =36$ and $CX=6$. \\\\\\\\$ $Therefore, $CY = 12$.Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangles $XCA$ and $CYB$ gives us\begin{align*}CA^2 &= XA^2 + XC^2 = 16 + 36 = 52,\\BC^2 &= CY^2 + BY^2 = 144 + 324 = 468.\end{align*}Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle $ABC$ gives\[AB = \sqrt{AC^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{52 + 468} = \sqrt{520} = \boxed{2\sqrt{130}}.\](We can also compute $AB$ by dropping a perpendicular from $A$ to $\overline{YZ}$, which creates a right triangle.)$
