The measure of anglerst can be represented by the expression (6x 12)°. three lines extend from point s. the space between lines

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

∠RST = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.

∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST

__

78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above

54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12

108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units

The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.

Write a rule for each pattern. Then use your rule to find the next two terms in the pattern. The numbers are: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 2

Triangular Number Sequence

This is the Triangular Number Sequence:

<span>1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ...</span>

This sequence comes from a pattern of dots that form a triangle:

By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can
find the next number of the sequence.

A Rule

We can make a "Rule" so we can calculate any triangular number.

First, rearrange the dots (and give each pattern a number n), like this:

Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle:

<span><span>The rectangles are n high and n+1 wide</span><span>and <span>xn</span> is how many dots in the triangle (the value of the Triangular Number n)</span></span>

And we get (remembering we doubled the dots):

<span>2xn = n(n+1)</span><span>xn = n(n+1)/2</span>

<span>Rule: xn = n(n+1)/2</span>

Example: the 5th Triangular Number is

x5 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15

Example: the 60th is

x60 = 60(60+1)/2 = 1830

Wasn't it much easier to use the formula than to add up all those dots?
