Solve for x 65 10 55 8<br><br>I already completed this quiz, the answer was 8.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Based on the theorem of angles formed by two intersecting chords, thus:

Angle formed/vertex angle = ½(sum of intercepted arcs)

Angle formed/vertex angle = 60°

Sum of intercepted arcs = 55 + 5x + 15 = 5x + 70

Therefore:

60 = ½(5x + 70)

Multiply both sides by 2

60*2 = 5x + 70

120 = 5x + 70

120 - 70 = 5x

50 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

50/5 = x

10 = x

x = 10

Which arrow on the map points to an air mass moving toward a cold front?
Murrr4er [49]

We can deduce here that the arrow on the map that points to an air mass moving toward a cold front is: H 1029 - 1018

<h3>What is cold front?</h3>

Cold front actually refers to the boundary that shows a mass of cold air advancing. It goes towards the sector of a low-pressure.

We see that the arrow that is moving from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure and has blue lines is the answer.
