Sidney's retirement party costs $28, plus an additional $1 for each guest she invites. What is the maximum number of guests ther

mylen [45]

Answer:

16 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we know Sidney's retirement party costs a starting amount of $28. We also know that she can only spend $44 on her retirement party. The easiest way to do it in my opinion is subtract 28 from 44, giving you 16. Since we know that each guest is only $1, we know that the maximum number of guests Sidney can afford is 16 guests. I hope this helped and please don't hesitate to ask for clarification!

Answer:

I believe the answer would be 3, and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why to start off (x-3)(x-7)=0

What would you plug into x to make it 0, well x=3, and x=7, because 3-3=0, 7-7=0

Hope this helped!!!, :)

In triangle XYZ, if angle X is congruent to angle Z, XY = 13x - 21, YZ = 8x - 6, & XZ = x + 4, find x & the measure of e

Naily [24]

Answer:

Given: In triangle XYZ, $\angle X \cong \angle Z$ , XY=13x-21 , YZ=8x-6 and XZ=x+4.

If two angles are congruent if and only if, they measure the same number of degrees.

therefore, from the given condition; $\angle X = \angle Z$ .

Isosceles Triangle : An triangle with two equal sides. The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.

Therefore, the triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle, as the base angle $\angle X$ and $\angle Z$ are equal and the sides opposite to these angles are also equal i.e, XY=YZ.

Since, we have XY=YZ ,

⇒ 13x-21 =8x-6 or

13x-8x=21-6 or

5x=15

Simplify:

x=3

Therefore, the sides of an isosceles triangle are:

XY = 13x-21 = $13\cdot 3 -21$ = 39-21 = 18 unit ,

YZ = 8x-6 = $8 \cdot3 -4$ = 24-6 =18 unit,

and XZ = x+4 = 3+4 =7 unit.

Since, the triangle is isosceles, we draw a line from an vertex angle Y of a triangle XYZ which is perpendicular (i.e, of 90 degree angle) to opposite side meets the opposite side at its midpoint i.e, say W.

As W is the midpoint(i.e, it divide the sides into two equal halves),

XW=WZ = $\frac{7}{2} =3.5$ unit

Now, use the Pythagorean theorem, to find the altitude WY.

⇒ $(WY)^2+(WZ)^2=(YZ)^2$

Substitute the value of WZ = 3.5 unit and YZ = 18 unit in above formula to calculate the length of WY;

⇒ $(WY)^2+(3.5)^2=(18)^2$

Simplify:

$(WY)^2=324-12.25=311.75$ or

$WY=\sqrt{311.75}$

On simplify we get;

WY=17.65 unit(approx.)

The vertex angle Y is split into two equal angles, we can find the vertex angle by finding the one of the base angle by using the fact; $Cosine = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$ .
