Find m∠DEC (the picture is not drawn to scale).

Mathematics

pochemuha3 years ago

Answer:

M∠DEC equals 123º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangle's three angles always equal 180º. The exterior angle, x, equals the two non-adjacent interior angles.

180 - {(x - 45)+(x - 12)} = m∠DEC

m∠DEC + x = 180

<u>(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x</u>

Solving for x:

(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x

x - 45 + x - 12 = x                             Remove parenthesis

2x - 57 = x                                       Combine like terms

2x = x + 57                                      Add 57 to both sides

<u>x = 57</u><u>                                             Subtract x from both sides</u>

Finding m∠D:

x - 45 = ?

<u>57 - 45 = </u><u>12º                                          </u>

Finding m∠C:

x - 12 = ?

<u>57 - 12 = </u><u>45º                                           </u>

<em>** </em><em>(Checking x: 12 + 45 = 57) </em><em>**</em>

<em>Finding </em>m∠DEC:

AC is a straight line, and because straight lines are equivalent to 180º, we subtract 57 from 180:

180 - 57 = 123º

Two thirds a number plus 4 is 7
Sergio039 [100]
(2/3)x+4= 7

Subtract 4 from both sides
(2/3)x= 3

Divide both sides by 2/3. To divide by a fraction, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second.
3*3/2= 9/2

Final answer: 9/2 or 4.5

eimsori [14]

total distance travelled=72+69=141

time taken in hours for journey= (48/60)h + (69/60)= 1.95 h

average speed=141km/1.95h= 72.3km/h (3 sf)

Which option lists am expression that is not equivalent to 4^2/3
Vesnalui [34]

remember that

x^{\frac{a}{b}}=\sqrt[b]{x^a}

also x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}

and (a^b)^c=a^{bc}


so

4^{\frac{2}{3}}


first one, that one is clearly not equal since 0.25≠4

2nd one, 0.25=1/4, so 0.25^{\frac{-2}{3}}=(\frac{1}{4})^{\frac{-2}{3}=  \frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})^{\frac{2}{3}}}=4^{\frac{2}{3}}, which matches

3rd one, \sqrt[3]{16}=\sqrt[3]{4^2}=4^{\frac{3}{2}}, which matches

4th one (\sqrt[3]{4})^2=(4^{\frac{1}{3}})^2=4^{\frac{2}{3}} which matches


answer is 0.25^{\frac{2}{3}}
