Answer:
A= 73 degrees
B= 34 degrees

Explanation:
Through the diagram, it is given that QP is a straight line. By supplementary angles(meaning in straight lines of 180 degrees, the angles must add to 180), angle a plus 107 degrees must equal 180 degrees. So:
a+107=180
a= 73
Next, angles RQP and RPQ are congruent because of the sides are congruent, the angles must be congruent. All angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees. Given the previous, 2a+b=180. Plug a in and solve for b:
2(73)+b=180
146+b=180
b= 34
In conclusion, A= 73 degrees and B=34

** please check my math as I do not have a calculator with me lol

Help me solve this please

Semenov [28]

$\huge\underline{ \underline{ \bf{Answer࿐} }}$

parallel sides measure :

10 ft -(a)
12 ft. -(b)

Area :

44 ft²

height (h) = x

___________________

$\boxed{Area = \frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h}$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times (10 + 12) \times x = 44$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times 22 \times x = 44$

$11x = 44$

$\boxed{ 4 \: \: ft}$

Therefore, height of Trapezoid is 4 ft

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m<2:

180 - 60 - 48 = 72

Vertical angle thm:

m<1 = 48

m<3:

180 - 62 - 48 = 70

Which equation represents the same line as the points in the table

vodomira [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-3}{4} x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find the slope using the slope equation and two of the points.

Slope equation:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

I'm going to use the first two points just so I can avoid the fraction... Substitute the x and y values into the equation.

$m=\frac{2-5}{0--4}$

Simplify:

$m=\frac{-3}{4}$

Now that we have the slope, all we need is the y-intercept. Luckily, it gives it to us in the table. The x value of y-intercepts will always be 0. Looking at the table, we see that the point where x=0 is (0,2). Thus, the y-intercept is 2. Your final equation is

$y=\frac{-3}{4} x+2$
