Answer:

The reason why linear pairs and vertical angles are used to prove lines are parallel is because they area transversal drawn through the parallel lines will form angles on each of the two parallel lines including;

1) Supplementary linear pairs and

2) Vertical angles

3) Alternate angles

Given that either;

a) The corresponding angles that form the linear pairs are congruent

b) The corresponding vertically opposite angles are congruent

c) The corresponding alternate angles are congruent, we have;

The two lines are said to be parallel.

I need help for real, no helpless answers please!

Given:

m∠R = 90°

m∠Q = 6°

PQ = 2.2 ft

RP = x

To find:

The length of RP.

Solution:

Using basic trigonometric formula:

$$\sin \theta =\frac{\text{Opposite of} \ \theta}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

$$\sin 6^\circ =\frac{x}{2.2}$

$$0.1=\frac{x}{2.2}$

Multiply by 2.2 on both sides.

$$0.1\times2.2=\frac{x}{2.2}\times2.2$

$$0.22=x$

$$0.2=x$ (nearest tenth)

The length of RP is 0.2 feet.

Enter an equation in standard form to model the linear situation. A bathtub that holds 41 gallons of water contains 11 gallons o

WITCHER [35]

Answer: In this equation, let "x" equal the rate at which the tub will be filled. The tub holds 32 gallons, which will be one-half of the equation. The tub already contains 12 gallons, so this will be half of the other side of the equation. The rate is "x" gallons per minute, and the time it required was 5 minutes, so this would be "5x". Placing all these parts together gives an equation of (32 = 5x + 12) gallons per minute dispensed.
