Answer: Choice A) AA postulate; 18

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

The triangles are similar to each other due to the AA (angle angle) postulate. The top angles are overlapping or shared angles. So that's the first pair. The second pair of angles is either bottom pair of angles, from the fact that corresponding angles are congruent. This is only true if the lines are parallel.

Due to the similar triangles, we can set up the proportion and solve for x
8/(8+4) = 12/x
8/12 = 12/x
8*x = 12*12 ... cross multiply
8x = 144
x = 144/8
x = 18

A person invests $2,740 in an account that earns 4.3% annual interest. Find when the value of the investment reaches $7,000. If
Juli2301 [7.4K]

So, to set up your equation is the hardest part. If you remember the basic format, you're set.

I(t) = P * (1+r%)^t

t= time and this will be our variable

Initial amount P = $2740

Rate = 4.3% which converts numerically into .043

I(t) = 7000

Before we get to find out how to find how many years it takes to get to $7000, set up the basic equation by plugging in what we know.


I(t) = $2740(1+4.3%)^t

I(t)=2740(1.043)^t

Now plug in for $7000 for I(t)

7000=2740(1.043)^t                 Divide both sides by 2740

7000/2740 = 2740/2740(1.043)^t

2.55474453=(1.043)^t

Now you can solve for t in two ways. You can either use the natural log or graph it on your graphing calculate and see when the two equations meet.

In your calculator you can set up:

ln(2.55474453)/ln(1.043) = t                 which is the method I prefer since it's much simpler

t=22.278528

but you can also graph it in your ti-84

with

y1=2.55474453

y2=(1.043)^x

and find where they intersect on the graph.

either way it'll be the same answer

2x + 8 X-2 B In this diagram, mZACD = [?]°
Natasha_Volkova [10]

EXPLANATION:

STEPS:

1.First we have to find the partial distances in the two equations given and then find the total, but to do so we must find the value of x, then replace it in each of the equations and finally the sum will give us the total of all the magnitudes.
