To solve this, I'm assuming that the equations both represent angles:
There is a theorem that states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equivalent to the sum of two remote triangles. Knowing this:
11x + 7 = 7x + 14 + 25
11x + 7 = 7x + 39
4x = 32
x = 8
By counting cause you can find your answer duh
Look at one of the vertices of the heptagon where two squares meet. The angles within the squares are both of measure 90 degrees, so together they make up 180 degrees.
All the angles at one vertex must clearly add up to 360 degrees. If the angles from the squares contribute a total of 180 degrees, then the two remaining angles (the interior angle of the heptagon and the marked angle) must also be supplementary and add to 180 degrees. This means we can treat the marked angles as exterior angles to the corresponding interior angle.
Finally, we know that for any convex polygon, the exterior angles (the angles that supplement the interior angles of the polygon) all add to 360 degrees (recall the exterior angle sum theorem). This means all the marked angles sum to 360 degrees as well, so the answer is B.
Answer:
The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial height of the ball is 40 ft, when it bounces from the floor once the height will be 20 ft, the second time it'll be 10 ft, and so on. The sequence that can represent the maximum height of the ball after each bounce is:
{40, 20, 10,...}
This kind of sequence is called a geometric progression, in this kind of progression the next number is related to the one before it by the product of a constant called ratio, in this case 1/2. To calculate a specific position in this sequence we only need the ratio and the first number, using the formula below:
a_n = a*r^(n-1)
Where n is the position we want to know, a is the first number and r is the ratio. In this case we have:
a_4 = 40*(1/2)^(4-1) = 40*(1/2)^3 = 40/8 = 5
The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.
