Answer:

n = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to write the questions mathematically and then solve

72 = 80% of n

72   = \frac{80}{100} ×  n

72  =  \frac{80 n}{100}

Multiply both-side of the equation by 100

72 × 100 =  \frac{80 n}{100}   ×100

At the right-hand side of the equation, 100 will cancel-out 100, leaving us with just 80 n

7200 = 80 n

Divide both-side of the equation by 80

\frac{7200}{80}  =  \frac{80n}{80}

(On the right-hand side of the equation, 80 will cancel out 80 leaving us with just n while on the left-hand side of the equation 7200 will be divide by 80)

\frac{7200}{80}   =   n

90  =  n

n = 90

Well I'm not sure what the answer would be since I'm not that smart but I did get the answer of 90, I did this by dividing 72 by 80 which equals .9 and I multiplied that by 100 and got 90.

Ok the parralelogram is 25 units and I think the angle of BCD would be 53. I got this by subtracting 127 from 180 since that should give you the whole square. and I got teh units by adding the lines BC and AB... Hope this helped

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. The measure of <2 is six more than twice the measure of <1. Find the measure of <2
MrMuchimi

Answer:

122 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that angle 1 and 2 make a linear pair:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees ----------------------------(1)

We have also been told that angle 2 is 6 more than twice the measure of angle 1

Which means: angle 2 = (2*angle1)  + 6 -------------------(2)

From putting the value of angle 2 in (1) from (2)

<em>angle 1 + 2*angle 1 + 6 = 180</em>

<em>3*angle 1 = 174</em>

angle 1 = 58 degrees -----------------------(3)

From (1) and (3):

<em>angle 2 + 58 = 180</em>

angle 2  = 122 degrees

Therefore, the measure of angle 2 is 122 degrees
