Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of all three angles inside a triangle is always 180 and the small square in the bottom left corner means that that is a 90 degree angle.
90+5x+5x=180
add the x values together
90+10x=180
subtract 90 from both sides
10x=90
divide both sides by 10
x=9
Answer:
marci got 49/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this one is tricky so b/c the lines are at 90 degees we know that the arcs are similar so set up the parts of the arcs equal to 360 degrees
360 = 130 + 130 + x + x
see each part of the circle ?
then use your mad algebra skilz
100 = 2x
50 = x
:) nice.. when I do the math , it seems easy , huh :DDD
Answer:
height = 2.5 ft , base = 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the height )
height = h then base = 2h + 3 and A = 10 , then
h(h + 3) = 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
h(h + 3) = 20 , that is
h² + 3h = 20 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
h² + 3h - 20 = 0 ← in standard form
(h + 4)(2h - 5) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for h
h + 4 = 0 ⇒ h = - 4
2h - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2h = 5 ⇒ h = 2.5
but h > 0 , then h = 2.5
and 2h + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
that is height = 2.5 ft and base = 8 ft
Answer:
b) .474
Step-by-step explanation:
If 62% go to a four-year college, that means that those who don't represent 38% of the high-school graduates.
You pick up someone who is NOT going to a four-year college (so, he's among the 38%)... what's the chance he's in the 18% of the whole high-school graduates population that found a job?
To calculate that probability, we have to divide 18% by 38%.
P = 18% / 38% = 0.4736, so 0.474
Since we are sure he doesn't go to a four-year college, there's 47.4% of chances he finds a job.
