In a class of 20 students, 40% are boys. 25% of the boys and 50% of the girls wear glasses. How many students wear glasses?

1 answer:

3 0

Calcualate 40% (0.40) times 20 to get that there are 8 boys in the class. The rest must be girls, so 20 - 8 gives you 12 girls. 25% (0.25) times the 8 boys gives you that 2 of the boys wear glasses. 50% (0.5) times the 12 girls tives you that 6 girls wear glasses. Add together the 2 boys and the 6 girls that wear glasses to get that a total of 8 students wear glasses.

By definition, two angles are supplementary if the sum of them is 180 degrees. In this case (see figure attached with the answer) the line AD is transversal to lines AB and DC. This is a proof of the Same-side interior angle theorem.

This theorem states that if we have two lines that are parallel and we intercept those two lines with a line that is transversal to both, same-side interior angles are formed, and also sum 180º, in other words, they are supplementary angles.

Then:

By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are same-side interior angles. Because AB and DC are parallel, the same-side interior angles must be supplementary by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.

Use the figure to find the measures of the numbered angles. Explin your reasoning.

1)81° due to the fact that 99° and (1) are supplementary angles
2)99° due to the fact that (5) and (2) are adjacent angles that sum up to equal 180°
3)81° due to the fact that it is the corresponding angle to (5)
4)99° due to the fact that (4) and (2) are alternate interior angles which equal the same
5)81° due to the fact that (5) and (6) are adjacent angles which means they are supplementary angles that add to equal 180°
6)99° due to the fact that (6) and (2) are corresponding angles which equal the same value
7)81° due to the fact that (7) and (3) are corresponding angles with equal the same degree

Answer:

option C is correct answer ..

Step-by-step explanation:

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180° ( by angle sum property of triangle )

3x + 4x-19+ 3x -1 = 180

10x + -20 = 180

10x = 180 +20 = 200

x = 200/10 = 20 °

angle A = 3× 20 = 60 °

angle B = 4× 20 - 1 9 = 61 °

angle C = 3× 20 -1 = 59 °

angle B is greatest so side opposite to it will be greatest in length ....so length of AC is greatest ....

so option C is the correct answer of this question ...

plz mark my answer as brainlist plzzzz vote me also as I have done this question by taking a lot of time Hope it will be helpful for you ....
