Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
sides of triangle measure: 'x', '4x-2' and '4x-2' since isosceles means both legs are equal
perimeter is the sum of all sides, so set up equation:
95 = 4x - 2 + 4x - 2 + x
95 = 8x - 4 + x
95 = 9x - 4
99 = 9x
x = 11
For number 4, we'll need a few facts to answer our question:
- Two supplementary angles add up to 180°, forming a straight angle (the angle formed by a straight line)
- The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°
Given those, we notice that the one unlabeled angle in the figure shares a line with 156°. In fact, this angle is <em>supplementary</em> to 156°, which means that the two add up to 180°. To find the measure of this mystery angle, we can subtract 156 from 180 to obtain 180 - 156 = 24°.
Now, let's look at the triangle. We already know the measure of one of the angles is 24°, and the other two are x°. What else do we know about the angles of a triangle? From the two facts listed at the beginning, we know their interior angles add up to 180°, so let's use that fact to solve for x.
We have:

, or

Solving for x:

So, x = 78°.
For question 5, the <em>definition</em> of a pair of parallel lines is a pair of lines which <em>never intersect</em>, so "always" would be the appropriate answer.
Answer:
r = 2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
get r on one side
8x + 12 + 16 = 4r
divide both sides by 4 to get r by itself
8x/4 + 12/4 + 16/4 = 4r/4
2x + 3 + 4 = r
2x + 7 = r
or
r = 2x + 7
