In general, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360. This is true for every quadrilateral. This does not help here, because there are two angles (angles B and D) we know nothing about. We only know about opposite angles A and C.
In this case, you can use another theorem.
Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
m<A + m<C = 180
3x + 6 + x + 2 = 180
4x + 8 = 180
4x = 172
x = 43
m<A = 3x + 6 = 3(43) + 6 = 135
Answer: 135 deg
Plug them in... -4=x -5=y
-3x-4+-6=6 (check)
-3x-4=12-6=6 (ordered pair works with this equation)
-2x-4+-6=-8 (check)
-2x-4=8-6=2 (ordered pair does not work with this equation)
Therefore the ordered pair IS NOT the solution.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The population of the town in the year 1962 will be 1730.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Smallville can be found by the equation 
, where P(t) is the population at time t, r represents the rate of growth, and I is the initial population.
Now, if there are 225 residents in 1950 and the population of the town grows at a rate of 17% per year, then the population of the town in the year 1962 will be 
(Approximate)
from the question, (-2,2) and (1,2) have the same y value so you can use that as your base and easily find the perpendicular height using the y axis since it's parallel to the x axis.
the third point, (0,-6), to the base is your height
use the sum of the positive of the y values to find your height (because height can't be negative): 6+2 = 8
area of a triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x 3 x 8 = 12
Note: 1/2 bh only works because (-2,2) and (1,2) form a line parallel to the x axis
