Answer:

m=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

m is proportional to n means there is some constant k such that:

m=kn

If m=5 when n=4 then we have the following equation to solve for our constant k:

5=k(4)

5=4k

Divide both sides by 4:

5/4 =k

So k=5/4 no matter what (m,n) pair they give you where the equation is m=kn.

m=(5/4)n

What is m when n=18?

m=(5/4)(18)

m=(5/2)(9)

m=45/2

m=22.5

Find the value of x.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

x= 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is irregular, and it has 5 angles, and the formula for finding a n-sided polygon

is (n-2)180°. To get the total angle, (5-2)180°=3×180°=540°. X°+4x°+4x°+135°+135°=540° ; 9x°+270°=540° ; 9x°=540°-270° ; 9X°=270° therefore, X=270°÷9= 30°•

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$x=12,\\y=12\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In any 30-60-90 triangle, the side lengths are in the ratio $x:x\sqrt{3}:2x$ , where $2x$ is the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle and $x$ is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle.
