12) Find mZVUT if mZVUT = 10x +9,<br> m_BUT = 7x - 1, and mZVUB= 37º.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

99°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • m∠VUT = 10x + 9
  • m∠BUT = 7x - 1
  • m∠VUB = 37°
  • m∠VUT = ?

<u>We see that</u>

  • m∠VUT = m∠BUT + m∠VUT
  • 10x + 9 = 7x - 1 + 37
  • 10x - 7x = 36 - 9
  • 3x = 27
  • x = 9

<u>Angle VUT measures:</u>

  • 10x + 9 = 10*9 + 9 = 99°

A bucket that weighs 4lband a rope of negligible weight are used todraw water from a well that is 80ftdeep. The bucket is filled
liq [111]

Answer:

Workdone = 3200 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the bucket is filled with 40 lb of water but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.2lb/s

Thus,

Weight of water at any given time (t) would be;

w(t) = 40 - 0.2t - - - - (1)

We are told the bucket is pulled up at a rate of 2ft/s.

Thus, height at time (t); y = 0 + 2t = 2t

Since y = 2t,

Then,t = y/2

Put y/2 for t in eq 1

Thus; w(y) = 40 - 0.2(y/2)

w(y) = 40 - 0.1y

Now, at y = 80 ft, we have;

w(80) = 40 - 0.1(80)

w(80) = 40 - 8 = 32 lb

Since 32 lbs are left, it means there is always water in the bucket.

Thus, work done is;

W = 80,0[∫(Total weight).dy]

W = 80,0[∫[(weight of rope) + (weight of bucket) + (weight of water)]dy]

W = 80,0[∫[0 + 4 + 40 - 0.1y]dy]

Integrating, we have;

W = [44y - y²/20] at boundary of 80 and 0

So,

W = [44(80) - 80²/20] - [0 - 0²/20]

W = 3200 lb.ft

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.
choli [55]

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.

We need to Prove: ∠A≅∠B.

We know straight angles are of measure 180°.

So, ∠A and <B both would be of 180°.

It is given that ∠A and ∠B are straight angles. This means that <u>both angles are of 180°</u> because of the <u>the definition of straight angles</u>. Using <u>the definition of equality</u>, m∠A=m∠B . Finally, ∠A≅∠B by <u>definition of congruent. </u>
