1) acknowledge the rule that anything that’s outside of the bracket applies to EVERYTHING inside of the bracket
2)apply the rule: (A-6)^2
1.7) < 7 and < 8 form a linear pair....which means, when added, they equal 180 degrees. So if < 7 = 61, then < 8 = (180 - 61) = 119 <=
1.8) angles that are supplementary will add up to 180. So if one of the angles is 38, then the other one is (180 - 38) = 142 <==
1.9) < 3 = < 5 (vertical angles are congruent)
1.10) < 2 = < 8 (vertical angles are congruent)
1.11) < 7 = < 1 (vertical angles)
1.12) < 6 = < 4 (vertical angles)
The ratio is 4/3 because you add AC which is 12 and then divided 9 (BC) by 12
Answer
Find out the how many tiles are in each section .
To prove
Let us assume that the number of tiles are in section are be x.
As given
A mosaic at the art museum is divided into 6 sections that each contain about the same number of tiles.
There are 2,889 tiles total in the mosiac .
Than the equation becomes
6 × x = 2889

x = 481.5
Therefore the total number of tiles in each sections are 481.5 .
The short answer: yes.
Explanation: every rational number can be expressed as, well, a ratio. For instance, 5 can be expressed as 5/1 and 1.75 can be expressed as 7/4. Irrational numbers are not rational. For instance, pi... there is no ration for pi.
