Given:

Vertical angles.

One angle is 85°.

To find:

The measure of ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3.

Solution:

∠2 and 85° are vertically opposite angles and ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

If two lines are intersecting, then the vertically opposite angles are congruent.

⇒ m∠2 = 85°

Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°

m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

85° + m∠3 = 180°

Subtract 85° from both sides.

85° + m∠3 - 85° = 180° - 85°

m∠3 = 95°

By vertical angle theorem:

⇒ m∠1 = m∠3

⇒ m∠1 = 95°

Therefore m∠1 = 95°, m∠2 = 85° and m∠3 = 95°.

Explain the relationship between the area and the radius of a circle.

Bess [88]

Area of a Circle: The area of a circle is the amount of space the circle takes up. To compute the area of a circle, we use the formula a=πr^2 where r is the radius of the circle.

Radius: The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle.

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$
