Please consider the attached image for complete question.

We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.

First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{WY}+\widehat{XZ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(76^{\circ}+112^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(188^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=94^{\circ}

We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.

m\angle WPY+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}-94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}-94^{\circ}

m\angle XPY=86^{\circ}

Now we need to find difference of both angles as:

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=94^{\circ}-86^{\circ}

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=8^{\circ}

Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.

The value of which of these expressions is closest to e?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: expressions

To find: the expression whose value is closest to e

Solution:

Value of e is 2.718

\left ( 1+\frac{1}{19} \right )^{19}=\left ( \frac{20}{19} \right )^{19}=2.65\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{22} \right )^{22}=\left ( \frac{23}{22} \right )^{22}=2.659\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{20} \right )^{20}=\left ( \frac{21}{20} \right )^{20}=2.653\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{21} \right )^{21}=\left ( \frac{22}{21} \right )^{21}=2.656

Therefore, value 2.659 is closest to the value of e.

So, option B. is correct.

Suzie paid a total of $324 dollar sign, 324 for x tickets to a rock festival.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Find the ticket unit cost:  divide the total paid, $324, by the number of tickets, x.  Then the form of the unit cost is

$324

--------- .

   x

This question is highly unusual in that you write "x" as the number of tickets sold, instead of a specific number of tickets.  Supposing that you'd sold 100 tickets for $324, then the unit cost would be, much more typically, a numeric ratio:

$324

----------------- = $3.24/ticket

100 tickets
