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°.

Answer:

The answer is C. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is referred to "rise over run". So in this case you rise 2 over one (2/1) That gives you 2. But since the line is going down is -2

How do you group quadratics?

barxatty [35]

If you have a quadratic equation in the form ax^2+bx+c
Step 1) Determine the product of AC (the coefficients in a quadratic equation)
Step 2) Determine what factors of a⋅ca⋅c sum to bb
Step 3) "ungroup" the middle term to become the sum of the factors found in step 2
Step 4) group the pairs.

Make n the subject of the formula

kogti [31]

Answer:

$\mathsf{ \frac{m + 21}{5} = n }$

Step-by-step explanation:

To make "n" the subject of the formula, rearrange the formula so it begins with " n = "

To isolate the variable "n", you need to inverse the other terms on that side of the equation where "n" really is.

=> m = 5n - 21

there's a "-21" next to "5n", inverse of subtraction is addition, so add 21 on both sides of the equation.

=> m + 21 = 5n - 21 + 21

=> m+ 21 = 5n

There's also a 5 attached to n, that means the multiplication of n with 5, the inverse of multiplication is division, so dividing both sides of the equation by 5

$\mathsf{ \frac{m + 21}{5} = n }$
