In the image shown, line n is a transversal cutting parallel lines l and m. ∠1 = 3x + 18 ∠7 = 2x + 39 What is the measure of ∠7?
A) 79° B) 81° C) 83° D) 86°
2 answers:
Answer:
B) 81°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
From the figure given below,
∠1 = 3x + 18
∠7 = 2x + 39
∠1 and ∠7 are a pair of exterior alternate angles. For two parallel lines l and m, cut by a transversal n, the pair of exterior alternate angles are congruent to each other.
Therefore, the angles 1 and 7 are congruent to each other. This gives,
∠1 ≅ ∠7
Therefore, the value of 'x' is 21.
Now, the measure of angle 7 can be calculated by plugging in the value of 'x' in the expression for angle 7. This gives,
Therefore, the correct option is option (B).

Since t=0 represents the year 1980. So, t=1 represents 1981 , t=2 represents 1982, t=3 represents 1983 and so on.
At t=2 that is in 1982, sales were 2.3 billion and at t=8 that is 1988, sales were 41 billion.
So, we have the coordinates (2, 2.3) and (8, 41) The slope will give us the rate of change in sales over the years.
Therefore, Slope = =6.45 billion per year.
Since, the rate of change is 6.45 billions per year and it is a linear variation therefore, the rate of change in sales 1980 is 6.45 billions per year.
