Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

B.24

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

exterior angle  = 360°/n(where 'n' is number of sides)

then,

15° = 360°/n

n = 360°/15°

n = 24

The quadrilateral shown is a rhombus. If AB = 17 and AE = 8, what is the measure of AC? A) 8 B) 12 C) 16 D) 24
Contact [7]

Answer:

C)16

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming the rhombus is named ABCD and E is where the diagonals meet.

Rhombus is a quadrilateral in which

  • All sides are equal
  • Opposite internal angles are equal
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles

As rhombus is  ABCD , AC is a diagonal which is bisected by E (According to the properties of Rhombus)

therefore AC will be twice of AE which is given to be 8

⇒ Answer is 16
