Answer: x=11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.

Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Then, knowing that:

\alpha=55\°\\adjacent=x\\hypotenuse=20

 You need to substitute these values intocos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}:

 cos(55\°)=\frac{x}{20}

Now, you can solve for "x":

20*cos(55\°)=x\\x=11.471

Rounded to the nearest hundreth:

x=11.47

Fill in the missing statement and reason in the proof of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent;

Transitive Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angles theorem is about the angles that are opposite to each other. These angles are formed when two lines cross each other

Vertical angles are congruent i.e their measures are equal

Look at the attached graph

Given:

AB // CD

E , G , H , F are col-linear

The line which contains points E , G , H , F is a transversal for the parallel lines AB and CD

∵ AB and EF intersected at point G

∴ m∠EGB = m∠AGF ⇒ by the vertical angles theorem

When lines AB and EF intersected at G they formed opposite angles like angles EGB and AGF, then angles EGB and AGF are congruent (  vertical angle theorem)

∵ AB // CD and EF is a transversal

∴ m∠AGF = m∠CHF (corresponding angles theorem)

Transitive Property of Equality:  if one angle is equal to two other angles, then the two other angles are equal

 Therefore, If a = b and b = c, then a = c

∵ m∠EGB = m∠AGF

∵ m∠AGF = m∠CHF

∴ m∠EGB = m∠CHF (transitive property theorem)

 ∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent; Transitive Property of Equality

We must add 2/3 and 2/7.
We have to convert these to fractions with "21" as the denominator.

Is 20/100 equivalent to 1/5
Rashid [163]
Yes, you can check this by setting the fractions equal to eachother and cross multiplying them. In this case both are equal to 100 therefore they're the same thing

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: a) sample

b) quantitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A recently published research study looked at 3000 people over a period of 15 years and determined that those people who ate fast food two or more times per week had gained an average of 10 pounds more than the group who ate fast food less than twice a week.

Here, population  = "people who ate fast food two or more times per week"

Since a census is the data of all members in a population whereas a sample is a subset of it.

Then, 3000 people constitute a sample as it is a subset of the population.

Since the researcher's point of interest it to measure average weight gain which is a quantitive measure.

So, the data is quantitative.
