Tan 5.4 = 4000/x

x = 4000/tan 5.4

x = 42,316 ft

x = 42,316/5280 mi = 8.0 miles

Answer: 8.0 miles

5. Solve for x in the parallelogram below.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

42 is also the degree for x so 42+42=84

there are 360 total degrees in a parallelogram

360-84=276

276 is divided by 2 as y and w are the same degrees

138 + 5 to find x and that is 143

143/13 is 11

Find the measure of Angle 5. <br><br><br>measure of angle 7 = 2x+15<br><br>measure of angle 8 = 3x
xenn [34]

Answer:

x=33

Measure of angle 5=81

Measure of angle 6=99

Measure of angle 7=81

Measure of angle 8=99

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 7 and 8 are supplementary because they share a common vertex while laying on a line.

That is the measurement of angles 7 and 8 add up to be 180.

mAngle7+mAngle8=180

(2x+15)  + (3x )        =180

 2x+15   + 3x           =180

Combine like terms:

 5x+15                      =180

Subtract 15 on both sides:

 5x                            =180-15

Simplify right hand side:

 5x                            = 165

Divide both sides by 5:

  x                             =165/5

Simplify right hand side:

  x                             =33

The measure of angle 7 is 2x+15=2(33)+15=66+15=81.

The measure of angle 8 is 3x=3(33)=99.

Recall vertical angles are congruent.

5 and 7 are vertical so the measure of angle 5 is 81.

6 and 8 are vertical so the measure of angle 6 is 99.

Measure of angle 5=81

Measure of angle 6=99

Measure of angle 7=81

Measure of angle 8=99

same goes for the second 2,500 bacteria in a colony the colony grows at a rate of 11% every hour so the answer to the question is 2,500(0.11)n
