Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
Remember: sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180
so to find x we use this equation
180 = 90 + 7x + 5 + 9x + 5 ( the little square in the triangle indicates that the angle is a right angle. right angles have a measure of 90 so that's where the 90 came from.)
now we solve for x
step 1 combine like terms
90 + 5 + 5 = 100
7x + 9x = 16x
now we have 180 = 16x + 100
step 2 subtract 100 from each side
180 - 100 = 80
100 - 100 cancels out
now we have 80 = 16x
step 3 divide each side by 16
80/16 = 5
16x/16=x
we're left with x = 5
Finally we plug in 5 into x for angle a
7(5)+5
7*5=35
35+5=40
so we can conclude that the measure of angle A is 40 degrees
Answer:
b. 58%
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the area of the entire rectangle using the formula A = lw.
The lowercase "L" is for length.
"w" is for width.
The lighter square is 10 units long by 5 inches wide.
A = lw
A = (10 in)(5 in) Multiply
A = 50 in²
Calculate the area for the shaded rectangle, 7 inches by 3 inches.
A = lw
A = (7 in)(3 in) Multiply
A = 21 in²
Calculate the area for the non-shaded region by subtracting the shaded area from the total area.
50 in² - 21 in² = 29 in²
The chance that a point in the large rectangle will NOT be in the shaded region is 29/50.
Convert this fraction to decimal form by using a calculator. Divide the top number by the bottom number.
29/50 = 0.58
0.58 is in decimal form. To convert it to a percentage, multiply the number by 100.
0.58 = 58%
Therefore the probability that a point chosen inside the large rectangle is not in the shaded region is 58%.
