Vertical angles are equal, so the angle above 2 is also 88+x. Then, because the 2 sides of the 52° triangle are congruent, the angles beneath them are too. So you are left with the equation of that triangle being...

88 + x + 88 + x + 52 = 180
combine like terms
228 + 2x = 180
subtract 228 from both sides
2x = -48
divide both sides by 2
x = -24

Hope this helps :)

State whether the conjecture is true or false. If false provide a counter example

Answer:

The Associative property does not hold for the division of whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ are the three whole numbers then, a ÷ (b ÷ c) ≠ (a ÷ b) ÷ c ⇒ 100 ÷ (25 ÷ 5) = 20 ≠ (100 ÷ 25) ÷ 5 = 4 ÷ 5. Easy Way to Remember the Properties of Whole Numbers

The distance s that an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time t of the fall. If an object falls 16 feet

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: if S is the distance, the fact that the distance is proportional to the square of the time means that S(t) = a* $t^{2}$ where a is a constant of proportionality, with units of $\frac{feet}{s^{2} }$ .
