Answer: x = 50
Concept:
Here, we need to know the idea of alternative interior angles and the angle sum theorem.
<u>Alternative interior angles</u> are angles that are formed inside the two parallel lines, and the values are equal.
The <u>angle sum theorem</u> implies that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below or let me know.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given information:</u>
AC ║ DE
∠ABC = 85°
∠A = 135°
<u>Find the value of ∠BAC</u>
∠A + ∠BAC = 180° (Supplementary angle)
(135°) + ∠BAC = 180°
∠BAC = 45°
<u>Find the value of ∠BCA</u>
∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180° (Angle sum theorem)
(85°) + (45°) + ∠BCA = 180°
∠BCA = 50°
<u>Find the value of x (∠EBC)</u>
∠EBC ≅ ∠BCA (Alternative interior angles)
Since, ∠BCA = 50°
Therefore, ∠EBC = 50°

Answer:
its 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Discounted Cost= Cost of Item - (Cost of Item * % Discount)
= $45.60 - ($45.60 * 30%)
convert % to decimal (30% ÷ 100)
= 45.60 - (45.60 * 0.30)
multiply in parentheses
= 45.60 - 13.68
= $31.92 discounted cost
ANSWER: The discounted cost of the item is $31.92 (savings of $13.68).
Hope this helps! :)
