Answer:
y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.
According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get
11 * 2 = 22
22 - 4 = 18
So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.
Problem 1
x = measure of angle N
2x = measure of angle M, twice as large as N
3(2x) = 6x = measure of angle O, three times as large as M
The three angles add to 180 which is true of any triangle.
M+N+O = 180
x+2x+6x = 180
9x = 180
x = 180/9
x = 20 is the measure of angle N
Use this x value to find that 2x = 2*20 = 40 and 6x = 6*20 = 120 to represent the measures of angles M and O in that order.
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Angle M = 40 degrees
- Angle N = 20 degrees
- Angle O = 120 degrees
====================================================
Problem 2
n = number of sides
S = sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides
S = 180(n-2)
2700 = 180(n-2)
n-2 = 2700/180
n-2 = 15
n = 15+2
n = 17
<h3>Answer: 17 sides</h3>
====================================================
Problem 3
x = smaller acute angle
3x = larger acute angle, three times as large
For any right triangle, the two acute angles always add to 90.
x+3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 90/4
x = 22.5
This leads to 3x = 3*22.5 = 67.5
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Smaller acute angle = 22.5 degrees
- Larger acute angle = 67.5 degrees
Answer:
a 1 thousandth or 0.001
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(2x+1-x)=6
2(x+1)=6 add common factors
2x+2=6 distribute the 2
2x=4 subrtract 2 on both sides
x=2 divide 2 on both sides
Answer:
Approximately 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the pythagorean thereom here, that tells us (a^2)+(b^2)=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, the side opposite from the right angle, while a and b are the other sides. We can insert 5 and 4 as a and b, and solve for c
:(5^2)+(4^2)=c^2
:25+16=c^2
:41=c^2
:sqrt(41)=6.4=c (We square rooted both sides. 6.4 is only rounded to the nearest hundredths place.) Hope this helps!
