Answer: x = 14</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
Refer to the diagram below. I've added a line segment and two variables y and z. This forms two isosceles triangles.
The central angle 56 degrees subtends the same arc as the inscribed angle y. By the inscribed angle theorem, this means y = 56/2 = 28. The inscribed angle is always half of the central angle (when both angles subtend the same arc).
Focus on the smaller isosceles triangle that has angles 56, z and z. Those three angles add to 180
z+z+56 = 180
2z+56 = 180
2z = 180-56
2z = 124
z = 124/2
z = 62
Now focus on the larger isosceles triangle (angles y = 28, x+z and x+z)
We'll use the same trick as before.
(x+z)+(x+z)+(y) = 180
(x+62)+(x+62)+(28) = 180 ... plug in z = 62 and y = 28
2x+152 = 180
2x = 180-152
2x = 28
x = 28/2
x = 14
4. To determine if a triangle is a right triangle, given that you know the length of its sides, you have to check if its lengths follow the Pythagorean theorem.
This theorem states that the square of the hypothenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle (a and b), following the expression:
The triangle is:
We have to check that a²+ b² is equal to c².
The square of the hypothenuse is:
The sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle is:
As you can see, the sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle is 100, which is the same as the square of the hypothenuse. The triangle follows the Pythagorean theorem and can be considered a right triangle.
The total amount repaid will be
.. monthly payment × number of months
.. = $2,160 × 360
.. = $777,600
Subtracting the amount of the principal that was repaid gives the interest.
.. $777,600 -360,000 = $417,600 . . . . total interest paid
The fence is 210 ft long.
There is a post every 3.5 ft.
If you divide 210 ft by 3.5 ft, you get the number of spaces between posts.
(210 ft)/(3.5 ft) = 60
The fence starts with a post. Then there is 3.5 ft of fencing. Then there is another post. Then there is another 3.5 ft of fencing followed by a post. In total there are 61 posts.
Here's another way of thinking of why you end up with 60 posts.
For each 3.5 ft of fencing, you place a post at the end of the fencing.
Since there are 60 3.5-ft-long pieces of fencing, there will be 60 posts, one at the end of each piece of fencing. The first thing that is done is to put the initial post before any fencing is put up. The first post plus 60 more posts add up to 61 posts.
Now that you see why there are 61 posts, we can calculate their cost.
61 * $8.50 = $518.50
(2x-y = -3 × y = 0 × (0, 0) × ( -1, 1) × (1, -1) =
(2x - y = -3 × y =0 × (0)) ×, × 0 ×, × 1 ×, × -1
