Answer:
The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
- In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
- In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures
∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)
∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures
∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)
∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°
∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180
∴ 9x + 9 = 180
→ Subtract 9 from both sides
∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9
∴ 9x = 171
→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x
∴ x = 19
→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°
∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are trying to find the values of two quantities, so you will need to set up a system of two equations in two variables. We'll call M the price of a movie and V the price of a video game.
The first month: 3 movies, 8 video games, $55. Let's translate this into algebra:
3M + 8V = 55
The second month: 5 movies, 2 video games, $18. Translated:
5M + 2V = 18
Solve that system of equations
Answer:
41 miles a day
Step-by-step explanation:
293 - 129 = 164
164 / 4 = 41
667 pounds is the answer. There are 2000 pounds in a ton. 1/3 of a ton is 666.666667 pounds. I think this question is a conversion from tons to pounds?
