Answer

59°

Explanation

There are 2 parallel line and one transverse.

Angles in a straight line add up to 180°

∴ 180 - (2a + 3) = 180 - 2a -3

= 177 - 2a

The angle (177 - 2a) corresponds to angle a in the diagram. The two corresponding angles are equal.

∴ 177 - 2a = a

177 = a + 2a

3a = 177

a = 177/3

= 59°

If the mean weight of 4 backfield members on the football team is 221 lb and the mean weight of the 7 other players is 202 lb, w

MatroZZZ [7]

Let $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}, x_{11}$ be the weight of i-th player.

1. If the mean weight of 4 backfield members on the football team is 221 lb, then

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4}{4}=221\ lb.$

2. If the mean weight of the 7 other players is 202 lb, then

$\dfrac{x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}}{7}=202\ lb.$

3. From the previous statements you have that

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=221\cdot 4=884 \lb,\\ \\x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}=202\cdot 7=1414\ lb.$

Add these two equalities and then divide by 11:

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}=884+1414=2298\ lb,\\ \\\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}}{11}=\dfrac{2298}{11}=208\dfrac{10}{11}\ lb.$

Answer: the mean weight of the 11-person team is $208\dfrac{10}{11}\ lb.$
