Answer:

  36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure.

Triangles ANC, AMB, BCN, CBM are all isosceles by virtue of the given congruences. By symmetry, we also claim that ΔABC is isosceles (AB≅AC).

We aren't sure how their internal angles relate, but we can write a couple of equations.

Let x = m∠BAC, y = m∠BCN.

∠NCA = ∠NAC  = ∠MBA = ∠MAB = x

∠BCM = ∠BMC = x +y

∠BMC = ∠MBA +∠MAB = 2x

So, we have ...

  ∠BMC = x +y = 2x   ⇒    y = x

And the sum of angles around ΔABC is ...

  x +(2x) +(2x) = 180°

  x = 180°/5 = 36°

The measure of angle BAC is 36°.

Add 7 and 3 8ths meters plus 6 and 1 third meters. Does the sum belong to the set of rational number integers or whole numbers?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Rational number integers because the sum using (LCD) is 13 and 17/24. Therefore, the answer can not be a whole number because it is in a fractional form. You can also put this number in a rational for which would be 312/24. This proves that it is a rational number.

What is the quality of 4x+27x=5
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

<h3>X=5/31=0.16</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

4x+27x=31x (Combine like terms, group like terms, & Add.)

31x=5

31x/31=5/31 (Divide by 31 from both sides.)

5/31=0.16

x=5/31=0.16

In conclusion, the correct answer is x=5/31=0.16.
