Answer:
θ = 38°
Step-by-step explanation:
The lower right triangle is congruent to the upper left triangle, so we have θ and 20° being the two acute angles in the triangle. The law of sines tells you ...
sin(θ)/9 = sin(20°)/5
sin(θ) = (9/5)sin(20°)
θ = arcsin(9/5·sin(20°)) ≈ 38°
___
Another solution to the triangle is θ = 180° -38° = 142°. The diagram clearly shows θ as an acute angle, so we take this second solution to be extraneous.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
19² = 17² +x²
19² - 17² = x²
√361-289 =x
√72 = 8.5 ≈ x
Area = base*h/2 = 17*8.5/2 ≈ 72.3
Perimeter = 19+17+8.5= 44.5
and so on...
2.
x²= 5² +13²...
A= 5*13/2 =...
P= 5+13+x=...
3.
20² = 10² +x²...
A=10*x/2=...
P=20+10+x=...
4.
x² = 5² +14²...
A=5*14/2 =...
P= 5+14+x = ...
So,
We have three placeholders.
x, y, and z will represent the number of cookie boxes they sold for the first, second, and third weeks, respectively.
"The girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first."
x + 5 = y
"They doubled the sales of the second week for the third week."
z = 2y
"To sell a total of 431 boxes of cookies"
x + y + z = 431
Now we have our three equations.
x + 5 = y
z = 2y
x + y + z = 431
Obviously, we can substitute y and z in the last equation, because the other two open sentences tell us what they are.
x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2(x + 5) = 431
Collect Like Terms.
2x + 5 + 2(x + 5) = 431
Distribute.
2x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
Collect Like Terms.
4x + 15 = 431
Subtract 15 from both sides.
4x = 416
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 104
Now we can use the other two original sentences to figure out what y and z are.
x + 5 = y
104 + 5 = y
109 = y
z = 2y
z = 2(109)
z = 218
Now, to check, add x, y, and z.
x + y + z = 431
104 + 109 + 218 = 431
213 + 218 = 431
431 = 431 This checks.
The Girl Scouts sold 104 cookie boxes on the first week, 109 boxes on the second week, and 218 boxes on the third week.
