Answer:
a = 133 degrees
b = 78 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
the top and bottom lines are parallel.
the two sidelines are lines that intercept the top and bottom lines.
as they intercept parallel lines, they actually must have the same angles with them.
so, the 47 degrees inner angle at the bottom line, must be also somewhere at the interception point with the top line. and right, it must be now mirrored the outward angle at the top line. and that means a (the inward angle at the top line) is also the outward angle at the bottom line.
the sum of inward and outward angles at a point must always be 180 degrees.
so, the outward angle of 47 = the inward angle a =
= 180 - 47 = 133 degrees.
similar in the other side.
102 is the inward angle.
the outward angle of that is 180 - 102 = 78 degrees.
and that is also the inward angle b.
b = 78 degrees
It’s 3 because you take the sum of all decreases (which is $9) and divide them by 3
I think the answer is D

Answer:
60 ships.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x
One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x
One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x
Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2
Let surviving ships be represented by y
One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y
Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home
The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =
y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.
Hence
24 = 6/7y
24 = 6y/7
24 × 7/ 6
y = 168/6
y = 28
Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.
Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4
Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =
x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28
Collect like terms
x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30
x - (1/2x) = 30
1/2x = 30
x = 30 ÷ 1/2
x = 30 × 2
x = 60
Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
