The value of x is 3.

Solution:

Given angles:

m∠D = 9x - 2, m∠C = 40° and ext∠B = 20x + 5

By exterior angle theorem of triangle,

<em>The measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.</em>

⇒ ext∠B = m∠D + m∠C

⇒ 20x + 5 = 9x - 2 + 40

⇒ 20x + 5 = 9x + 38

Subtract 5 from both sides.

⇒ 20x = 9x + 33

Subtract 9x from both sides.

⇒ 11x = 33

Divide by 11 on both sides.

⇒ x = 3

The value of x is 3.

He hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of one of the legs. the length of the other leg is 648‾‾‾‾√648 feet.
pantera1 [17]
Let length of  the hypotenuse = 3x and length of given leg be x feet.

then (3x)^2 = x^2 + 648
8x^2 = 648
x^2 = 81


so x = 9 and 3x = 27

Hypotenuse is 27 feet and the leg equals 9 feet.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If that number is greater than 1, that means that the exponential equation represents growth.  If that number is less than 1 but greater than 0, that means that the exponential equation represents decay.  Since ours is greater than 1, our equation is exponential growth.  It means that the perent of animals adopted grows at a rate of 145% per year, with a starting number of 28 animals in the first year.
