Answer:

60 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the 140 refers to the number animals (heads, noses, bodies, whatever). If all of those were chickens, there would be 280 legs. There are 160 legs more than that.

Since each pig that replaces a chicken adds 2 legs, there must be 160/2 = 80 pigs. That leaves 140 -80 = 60 chickens.

Find the measure of angle F

Tema [17]

Answer:

∠ F = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 6 , then

sum = 180° × 4 = 720°

Sum the interior angles and equate to 720

7x + 7x + 4x + 7x + 7x + 4x = 720

36x = 720 ( divide both sides by 36 )

x = 20

Then

∠ F = 4x = 4 × 20° = 80°

The cost of a car, in dollars, t years after its purchase is $20,000 - $3,000t. Which statement is correct? please explain too.

xeze [42]

We start with 20,000. Every year t, we decrease 3,000. Thus, each year the car depreciates by 3,000 every year.
