A triangle has three angles, and their measures add up to 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has at least 2 congruent sides, and the angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.

This triangle has one angle of 40 deg, and two angles that measure the same; call the measure of each base angle x.

x + x + 40 = 180

2x + 40 = 180

2x = 140

x = 70

The base angles measure 70 deg.

The measure of base angle is $$\boxed{{{70}^ \circ }} if the vertex angle is {40^ \circ }$$ .

Further explanation:

Given:

Vertex angle of the isosceles triangle is {40^ \circ } .

Explanation:

The triangle three sided close Figure.

There are three type of triangles.

1. Equilateral triangle

2. Isosceles triangle

3. Scalene triangle

Equilateral triangle has all sides equal and all the angles are equal.

Isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal to each other and the two base angles are equal to each other.

Scalene triangle has all sides unequal and the angles are also not equal to each other.

The sum of all the angles of the triangle is {180^ \circ }.

Consider the base angle as y.

The value of y can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}y+y+40&=180\\2y+40&=180\\2y&=180-40\\2y&=140\\y&=\frac{{140}}{2}\\y&={70^ \circ }\\\end{aligned}

The measure of base angle is $$\boxed{{{70}^ \circ}} if the vertex angle is {40^ \circ}$$.

Identify the solution to the following inequality: -1/2 (x+3) &gt; x - 3
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

- \frac{1}{2} (x + 3) > x - 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

- (x + 3) > 2x - 6 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- x - 3 > 2x - 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3x - 3 > - 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3x > - 3

divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < 1

Tomas bought a new sheet of stamps that had 10 thirty-four cent stamps on the page. If he paid with a ten-dollar bill, how much
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$6.60 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought 10 34¢ stamps which means it only costed $3.40, because 10x.34=3.40

So in order to find the change, you subtract $10-$3.40, which equals $6.60

Platinum Gym charges a one-time registration fee of $60, and membership is $20 a month.

Super Fit charges a one-time registration fee of $150, and membership is $10 a month.

(a) Write a expression to represent the membership cost of Platinum Gym for x months.

Let x = months

20x + 60 is your expression

(b) Write an expression to represent the membership cost of Super Fit for x months

Let x = months

10x + 150 is your expression

(c) You are solving for both one month and twelve months of membership.

<u>One month:</u> Plug in 1 for x.

20(1) + 60 = 20 + 60 = 80

10(1) + 150 = 10 + 150 = 160

Platinum Gym is cheaper overall for one month by $80

<u>One year:</u> There are twelve months in a year. Plug in 12 for x.

20(12) + 60 = 240 + 60 = 300

10(12) + 150 = 120 + 150 = 270

Super Fit is cheaper than Platinum Gym overall for one year by $30

(d) Set the two expression equal to each other.

20x + 60 = 10x + 150

Isolate the x. Subtract 10x and 60 from both sides

20x (-10x) + 60 (-60) = 10x (-10x) + 150 (-60)

20x - 10x = 150 - 60

Simplify

20x - 10x = 150 - 60

10x = 90

Isolate the x. Divide 10 from both sides

10x/10 = 90/10

x = 9

It takes 9 months for the cost to be the same.

(e) It really depends on how long you want to work out at a gym. If you are working out for less than a year, than Platinum Gym is the better choice. If more than a year, then Super Fit is the better choice.
