Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the complete question with diagram. Also find attached the diagram used for solving the question.

There area 3 angles in the diagram:

x + 8, 2x + 12, x + 20

Let the interior angles be labelled a, b, and c

a+ 2x+12 = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)

a= 180-(2x+12) = 168 -2x in degrees

b+ x+20 = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)

b = 180-(x+20) = 160 -x in degrees

c+ x+8 = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)

c = 180-(x+8) = 172-x in degrees

a+b+c = 180° (sum of angles in triangle)

(168 -2x)° + (160 -x)° + (172-x)° = 180°

500 -4x = 180

500-180 = 4x

320 = 4x

x = 320/4

x = 80°

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Find the measure of APB^.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Radii CA and CB are perpendicular to tangent lines AT and BT, so

$\angle CAT=\angle CBT=90^{\circ}$

Since angle BAT is equal to 65°, angle CAB has measure

$\angle CAB=90^{\circ}-65^{\circ}=25^{\circ}.$

Consider triangle ACB. This triangle is isosceles, because CA=CB as radii of the circle. Two angles adjacent to the base are congruent, thus

$\angle CBA=\angle CAB=25^{\circ}$

The sum of the measures of all interior angles in triangle is always 180°, so

$\angle CAB+\angle CBA+\angle ACB=180^{\circ}\\ \\25^{\circ}+25^{\circ}+\angle ACB=180^{\circ}\\ \\\angle ACB=130^{\circ}$

Angle ACB is central angle subtended on the minor arc AB, angle APB is inscribed angle subtended on the same minor arc AB. The measure of inscribed angle is half the measure of central angle subtended on the same arc, so

$x=\angle APB=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 130^{\circ}=65^{\circ}$

There are 36 tables and 7 booths in the family restaurant. Each table seats 4 people. If the restaurant can seat up to 179 peopl

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

5 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find how many people 36 tables seats. In order to do this, we need to multiply 36 (tables) by 4 (people sitting) to get 144. Now just subtract 144 from 179 to see how many people are left, here we get 35. Since there are 7 booths, we divide 35 by 7 to get 5. Each booth holds 5 people.

(179-36x4)/7=5
