I'm visualizing that VWX is a triangle.

Since VW = VX ; Two sides are equal, then it is an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles.

Given: m∠V = 50° ;

Since interior angles must total 180° the remaining 2 unknown angles must have a sum of 130°.

180° - 50° = 130°
130° / 2 = 65°

m∠W = 65° and m∠X = 65°

Bashir works in a weather station and has launched a weather ballon. The height of the baloon is 4 kilometers and it is 1 kilome

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that the height of the balloon is 4 km and that it is 1 km away from the station.

Setting up the diagram that describes the given scenario, we would end up with a right-angled triangle as the one shown in the attached image

where:

height of the balloon = 4 km represents one side of the triangle

distance between the base of the balloon and the station = 1 km represents the other side

distance between the balloon and the station is the length we want to find and it represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

To get the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem

$hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(side1)^2 + (side2)^2}$

Substitute with the givens:

$hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(4)^2 + (1)^2}$ = √17 ≈ 4.1 km

Hope this helps :)

Pre image ABCD was dilated to produce image A’B’C’D why is the scale factor from the pre image? Enter your answer in the box as

shepuryov [24]

The scale factor of the dilation from ABCD to A′B′C′D′ is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the pre-image ABCD, the length of one of the sides is given as 14 units.

For the other shape A′B′C′D′, the same side as the previous shape is given as 8 units.

Step 2:

To determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.

In this case, it is the given length of the sides CD and C′D′.

So the scale factor = $\frac{C^{1} D^{1} }{CD} = \frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} .$

So the shape ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of $\frac{4}{7}$ to produce the shape A′B′C′D′.

Describe and correct any error a student may have made when solving the equation

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The student made an error during the distributive property in the second step where they multiplied 0.15 by -0.2 to equal -0.3 when it should have been -0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.15(y-0.2)=2-0.5(1-y)\\0.15y-0.03=2-0.5+0.5y\\0.15y-0.03=1.5+0.5y\\100(0.15y-0.03)=100(1.5+0.5y)\\15y-3=150+50y\\15y-3-15y-150=150+50y-15y-150\\-153=35y\\-\frac{153}{35}=y$

How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when you have 2 angles (1 being the 90 degrees since it is a right triangle)

stiks02 [169]

Find the length of the hypotenuse by using either "sine" or "cosine".

Sine= Length of opposite side/ Hypotenuse

Cosine= Length of adjacent side/ Hypotenuse

In order to use one of these, it depends on which angle they give you other than 90 degrees.

Hope this helps!
