In order for RECT to be a rectangle, what must the value of x be?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Readme [11.4K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).

∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC     Formula for complementary angles

90 = 2x + 6 + 42                Substitute the angles

90 = 2x + 48               Combined like terms to simplify

Now isolate "x" to solve

90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48         Subtract 48 from both sides

42 = 2x

42/2 = 2x/2       Divide both sides by 2

x = 21

Therefore x is 21.

Find the equation of a line which is parallel to y= 2/5 x + 17 and passes through (-15,12)
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will have the same slope of 2/5.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y - 12 = 2/5(x - -15)

y - 12 = 2/5(x + 15)

y = 2/5x + 6 + 12

y = 2/5x + 18.

A small company that manufactures snowboards uses the relation below to model its profit. In the model,
amm1812

Answer:

a)   x₁ = 14

     x₂ = - 6

b) x = 4

c) P(max ) = 4000000 $

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry we solve the equation

a) -4x² + 32x + 336 = 0

4x²  - 32x  - 336  = 0       or    x² - 8x - 84 = 0

x₁,₂ = [ -b ± √b² -4ac ]/2a

x₁,₂ = [ 8  ±√(64) + 336 ]/2

x₁,₂ = [ 8  ± √400 ]/2

x₁,₂ =( 8 ± 20 )/2

x₁  = 14

x₂ = -6

a) Axis of symmetry must go through the middle point between the roots

x = 4 is the axis of symmetry

c) P = -4x² + 32x + 336

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

P´(x) = - 8x + 32  ⇒  P´(x) = 0     - 8x + 32

x = 32/8

x = 4    Company has to sell  4 ( 4000 snowboard)

to get  a profit :

P = - 4*(4)² + 32*(4) + 336

P(max) = -64  + 128 + 336

P(max) = 400           or  400* 10000 =  4000000

There are 20 20 coins in a jar. Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter. If one of the coins is selected at random, the probab
sveta [45]

Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8
