In a triangle find the Remote exterior angle given the remote interior angles are 27 and 53
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:We can use equations to represent the measures of the angles described above. One equation might tell us the sum of the angles of the triangle. For example,

x + y + z = 180

We know this is true, because the sum of the angles inside a triangle is always 180 degrees. What is w? We don't know yet. But, we may observe that the measure of angle w plus the measure of angle z = 180 degrees, because they are a pair of supplementary angles. Notice how Z and W together make a straight line? That's 180 degrees. So, we can make a new equation:

w + z = 180

Then, if we combine the two equations above, we can determine that the measure of angle w = x + y. Here's how to do that:

x + y + z = 180 (this is the first equation)

w + z = 180 (this is the second equation)

Now, rewrite the second equation as z = 180 - w and substitute that for z in the first equation:

x + y + (180 - w) = 180

x + y - w = 0

x + y = w

Interesting. This tells us that the measure of the exterior angle equals the total of the other two interior angles. In fact, there is a theorem called the Exterior Angle Theorem which further explores this relationship:

Exterior Angle Theorem

The measure of an exterior angle (our w) of a triangle equals to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles (our x and y) of the triangle.

Let's try two example problems.

Example A:

If the measure of the exterior angle is (3x - 10) degrees, and the measure of the two remote interior angles are 25 degrees and (x + 15) degrees, find x.

First example of finding an exterior angle

To solve, we use the fact that W = X + Y. Note that here I'm referring to the angles W, X, and Y as shown in the first image of this lesson. Their names are not important. What is important is that an exterior angle equals the sum of the remote interior angles.

A student attempted the work below, identify any errors in each line. If no error is found, describe in words what step was take
AleksAgata [21]
1.No error , he divided by 16 in the 2 sides .
2.no error ,he made sure that 16/16 is one while d/16 remains
3.no error , he square rooted both sides
4.error, as the root gives one positive value and one negative value not only a positive value ,the answer should have been t=+-(d/4)
5.error,he disturbed the whole equation by rooting d only he should have rooted both sides

A rectangular parking area measuring 5000 ft squared is to be enclosed on three sides using​ chain-link fencing that costs ​$5.5
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Dimensions: 75.3778 ft and 66.3325 ft

Minimum price: $1658.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the parking area 'x', and the width 'y'.

Then, we can write the following equations:

-> Area of the park:

x * y = 5000

-> Price of the fences:

P = 2*x*5.5 + y*5.5 + y*7

P = 11*x + 12.5*y

From the first equation, we have that y = 5000/x

Using this value in the equation for P, we have:

P = 11*x + 12.5*5000/x = 11*x + 62500/x

To find the minimum of this function, we need to take its derivative and then make it equal to zero:

dP/dx = 11 - 62500/x^2 = 0

x^2 = 65000/11

x = 250/sqrt(11) = 75.3778 ft

This is the x value that gives the minimum cost.

Now, finding y and P, we have:

x*y = 5000

y = 5000/75.3778 = 66.3325

P = 11*x + 62500/x = $1658.31

Helppppppppppp !??????
Molodets [167]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, you just have to divide the total amount Mary is trying to earn, $132, by the unit rate, $5.50 per hour:

132 / 5.50 = 24

So, Mari needs to work 24 hours to earn $132

Hope this helps :)

Solve for x: 5/x^2-4+2/x=2/x-2
IRINA_888 [86]

\dfrac{5}{x^2 - 4} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{2}{x - 2}


\dfrac{5}{(x + 2)(x - 2)} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{2}{x - 2}


\dfrac{5}{(x + 2)(x - 2)} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2) + \dfrac{2}{x} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2) = \dfrac{2}{x - 2} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2)


5x + 2(x + 2)(x - 2) = 2x(x + 2)


5x + 2(x^2 - 4) = 2x^2 + 4x


5x + 2x^2 - 8 = 2x^2 + 4x


5x - 8 = 4x


x - 8 = 0


x = 8


Now we look at the common denominator.

It is x(x + 2)(x - 2).

x cannot be zero, -2 or 2 because that would cause a zero in the denominator.

Since we get x = 8, and x = 8 does not have to be excluded from the domain, the answer is x = 8.


Answer: x = 8
