Answer:

  x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.

The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:

  138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)

Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...

  x^2 -31x +238 = 0

For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.

For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.

A computer program consists of two blocks written independently by two different programmers.the first block has an error with p
lesya692 [45]
To work out the probability of both errors occuring, simply multiply the probability of the first error by the probability of the second error. Therefore the probability of both errors occurring is 0.2 * 0.3  =  0.06.

Please help me answer the question 9 though 10
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

9) slope of AC = slope of FH

Equation of the line is y = - x + 5

10) Area = 320

Step-by-step explanation:

For 9, the only thing similar IS the slope of the hypotenuse because the triangles are along the same line. Unless they're asking for the equation of the line, then that's just using the point slope equation which is:

y = - x + 5

For 10, just multiply 4 and 5 by 4 to get 16 and 20. Then multiply 16 and 20 to get 320.
