Answer:

x = 26; l = 137; m = 137

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, that means the measurements are too. As such, equal the two expressions together

5x + 7 = 8x - 71

add 71 to both sides

5x + 7 + 71 = 8x - 71 + 71

-71 and +71 cancel each other out

5x + 78 = 8x

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 78 = 8x - 5x

5x - 5x cancels each other out

78 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3x ÷ 3 = 1x which can also be written as just x

78 ÷ 3 = x

26 = x

plug in this x value into both expressions to find variables l and m

5(26) + 7

130 + 7

137

8(26) - 71

208 - 71

137

I need help with this problem, if anyone could help ASAP, that would be much appreciated. In the figure below, mROP = 125° Find

netineya [11]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

mROP= 125°

mSOQ= mROP= 125°

mROQ=mPOS= 180°-125°= 55°

<u>Sum of measures of all arcs in the circle= 2π</u>

mRP= mQS=2π*125/360=25/36π

mQR=mPS=2π*55/360=11/36π

mPRQ= half circle= 2π/2= π

mRPQ= 2π-mQR= 2π- 11/36π= 61/36π

How do I do this? Help!

Hitman42 [59]

Notice the picture below

you have two triangles, and you have the opposite and adjacent sides

thus, recall your SOH CAH TOA $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

anyhow.. the one that has only
the angle
the opposite
and the adjacent

is Ms Tangent, so lets ask her some

$\bf tan(29^o)=\cfrac{x}{y}\implies y\cdot tan(29^o)=x
\\\\\\
tan(25^o)=\cfrac{x}{100-y}\implies (100-y)tan(25^o)=x\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
x=x\qquad thus\qquad y\cdot tan(29^o)=(100-y)tan(25^o)$

solve for "y"
