In a right triangle, the acute angles measure 2x + 50 and 3x degrees. What is the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?

1 answer:

4 0

Since this is a right triangle the two acute angles must sum to 90 degrees because a triangle's angles must sum to 180 degrees.

2x+50+3x=90

5x+50=90

5x=40

x=8

So the smallest angle is 3x=3*8=24°

One hundred sixty-two guests attended a banquet. Three servers provided their beverages. The first server helped three times as

Rudiy27

Answer:

Below given.

Step-by-step explanation:

162 total guests.
3 servers

Let the number of guests the second server helped be x.

then the first server helped 3x

then the third server helped [(3x)*2] = 6x

Equation in total:

6x + 3x + x = 162

10x = 162

x = 16.2

First server helped: 3 * 16.2 = 49 guests

Second server helped: 16 guests

Third server helped: 6x = 6(16.2) = 97 guests

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form to the given line and pass through the given point

ValentinkaMS [17]

Okay so the equation given to you, tells you that the slope must be 4. The line must pass through the point (4,8). so, you have to put it into point-slope form in order to find your answer. the equation for point slope form is y-y1 =m(x-x1). in the equation, y1 and x1 are given in the point (4,8), so you point slope equation will be y-8=4(x-4). then you solve the equation. hope this helps! :)
