Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Angle B measures (x – 5)°, and angle D measures (3x + 5)°. Find x.

Angle B is opposite to angle D.
Since quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle, it’s a cyclic quadrilateral.
The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees.
(x-5)+(3x+5)=180
4x=180
x=180/4
x=65 degrees

Answer: x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilaterals inscribed in a circle have all four vertices on the circle.

A unique property of these types of quadrilaterals is their angle measures: Opposite angles of inscribed quadrilaterals will always add up to 180 (they are supplementary angles).

As such, the inscribed quadrilateral ABCD has opposite angles at AC and BD. Because the quadrilateral is inscribed, this means that the angles A + C and the angles B + D will equal 180 degrees. We can represent the angles measures for B and D in an equation where B + D = 180:

$(x-5)+(3x+5)=180\\\\4x = 180\\\\x=45$

When x = 45, the angle B is 40 degrees and the angle D is 140 degrees.

$a(3) = b(2) + c(2) = 8 + 9 = 17\\ b(3) = a(2) + c(2) =7 + 9 = 16 \\ c(3) = a(2) + b(2) = 7 + 8 = 15 \\ \\ a(4) = b(3) + c(3) = 16 + 15 = 31 \\ b(4) = a(3) + c(3) = 17 + 15 = 32 \\ c(4) = a(3) + b(3) = 17 + 16 = 33$

$a(5) = 32 + 33 = 65 \\ b(5) = 31 + 33 = 64 \\ c(5) =31 + 32 = 63 \\ \\ a(6) = 64 + 63 = 127 \\ b(6) = 65 + 63 = 128 \\ c(6) = 65 + 64 = 129 \\$

$a(7) = 128 + 129 = 257 \\ b(7) = 127 + 129 = 256 \\c (7) = 127 + 128 = 255 \\ \\ a(8) = 256 + 255 = 511 \\ b(8) = 257 + 255 = 512 \\ c(8) = 257 + 256 = 513$

$a(9) = 512 + 513 = 1025 \\ b(9) = 511 + 513 = 1024 \\ c(9) = 511 + 512 = 1023 \\ \\ a(10) = 1024 + 1023 = 2047 \\ b(10) = 1025 + 1023 = 2048 \\ c(10) = 1025 + 1024 = 2049$

Given a required reserve ratio of 10 percent for all banks, total bank reserves of $400 billion could support maximum deposits o

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The maximum deposit is $4,000 billion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the required reserve ratio of 10 percent for all banks.

It is given that total bank reserves of $400 billion.

Let the maximum deposit is x.

Therefore, 10% of x = $400 billion

$\frac{10}{100}\times x=\$400\text{ billion}$

$x=\frac{100}{10}\times \$400\text{ billion}$

$x=10\times \$400\text{ billion}$

$x=\$4000\text{ billion}$

Hence, the maximum deposit is $4,000 billion.

Would someone explain to me where to start.

cluponka [151]

You should first write out the equations,
perimeter= 3/y-4+3/y-4+1/y+1/y, and the area is 3/y-4•1/y
then you can simplify it.

What is 96-4.5y-3.2y=5.6y+42.80<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!!!

Lady_Fox [76]

You want to combine like terms. so -4.5y-3.2y=-7.7. so no it’ll look like 96-7.7y=5.6y+42.80.
no you’ll bring 96 to the other side so now it’s
-7.7y=5.6y-53.20
now you’ll bring 5.6y to the other side. -13.30y=-53.20. you want the variable by itself so do -13.30 divided by both sides
