You can graph the 4 points.
Notice that sides AB and CD are horizontal, so they are parallel with different lengths.
Sides BC and Ad are not parallel.
A quadrilateral with two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides is a trapezoid.
Answer: x = 7
-----------------------------------------
Angle STU is 15x. This is the exterior angle on the right side of the triangle
Subtract this from 180 to get angle RTS
angle RTS = 180 - (angle STU)
angle RTS = 180 - 15x
Focus solely on triangle RTS. If needed, erase the portion that extends out toward point U
If we focus on the triangle only, then angle R = angle T since they are the base angles of the isosceles triangle. We know that triangle RST is isosceles since RS = ST is given to us.
Because angle R = angle T, we know
angle R = 180-15x
angle T = 180-15x
and we also know
angle S = 4x+2
since that's given as well
Add up the three angles and set that sum equal to 180. Then solve for x
R+S+T = 180
(180-15x)+(4x+2)+(180-15x) = 180
(-15x+4x-15x) + (180+2+180) = 180
-26x + 362 = 180
-26x + 362-362 = 180-362
-26x = -182
-26x/(-26) = -182/(-26)
x = 7
Since the sine and cosine functions are cofunctions, they are complementary. The format for this is that sinx=cos(90-x). This works for secant and cosecant and tangent and cotangent. So, sin25°=cos65°.
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert every fraction to an improper fraction just to make it easier.
43/10 - (12/5x + 11/2) = 1/2 (-18/5x + 6/10)
Distribute.
= 43/10 -12/5x - 11/2 = -18/10x + 6/10
Simplify using the common denominator, which is 10.
43/10 - 24/10x - 55/10 = -18/10 + 6/10
Isolate the x.
-24/10x + 18/10 = -43/10 + 55/10 + 6/10
Simplify.
-6/10x = 18/10
Multiply by the reciprocal (basically dividing fractions)
18/10 x -10/6
= -3
