Can somone help me with this 1 problem? QRST is a parallelogram. Determine the measure of ∠Q

1 answer:

3 0

(In the picture, QRST looks like a rhombus, so I will assume that it is a rhombus.)

In a rhombus, opposite angles are congruent based on the alternate interior angle theorem. In other words, R and T along with Q and S are both alternate interior angle pairs.
(You can actually test this by printing out a rhombus, cutting out the angles, and matching up the opposite ones.)

We know that Q is equal to 4x + 10, but we need to solve for x. Since Q and S are congruent, we can set them equal to each other:
1) 4x + 10 = 5x - 3
2) 4x + 13 = 5x
3) 5x = 4x + 13
4) x = 13
Now let's plug 13 in for Q:
5) 4(13) + 10 = 52+10 = 62

I got m<Q = 62 degrees. Hope this helps!

Can someone explain how u can write a percent in simplest form?

mash [69]

Answer:

The answer is 1 1/4 or a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basicallly percents are based of 100% so there is a 100% which would be a whole then there is only 25% and if you take 4 quarters and each quarter is 25 cents and there is 4 quarters in a whole that would be 1/4. You add the 1 whole and the 1/4 to get 1 1/4.

Hope this helps, tried to explain it in the best way I can.
