The measure of angle B is equal to 60 degrees.

In order to find this, we can first note that the angle C (in the right side triangle) is equal to 80 degrees. We can tell this because it creates a straight line with the other angle C and therefore the two combined give us 180 degrees.

Then we can add angle A, B and C together in the right side triangle to get 180 degrees since they are all the measures of angles in a triangle.

A + B + C = 180

2x + 3x + 80 = 180

5x + 80 = 180

5x = 100

x = 20

Now that we have the x value, we can plug into the equation for B.

B = 3x

B = 3(20)

B = 60

<h3>Answer: 985</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

A = amount after t hours

P = initial amount = 100

r = growth rate in decimal form = 0.10

t = number of hours = 24

--------

A = P*(1+r)^t

A = 100(1+0.10)^24

A = 100*(1.10)^24

A = 100*9.84973267580762

A = 984.973267580762

A = 985

beks73 [17]
It cant be 7 because,
X-7>3
7-7>3
0>3
And 0 is not bigger than 3

It cant be 9 because,
X-7>3
9-7>3
2>3
And 2 is not bigger than 3

So it is 11 because,
X-7>3
11-7>3
4>3
And 4 is bigger than 3

So the answer is 3) 11
