Answer:

148º

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the information given:

The measure of a straight line is 180º. So angle PST=180-(2R+8)
Since ST and QR are parallel, angle PST=angle PQR. Now, angle PQR=180-(2R+8)
The sum of a triangle's interior angles is 180º. So 40+180-2R-8+R=180º.
Combine like terms, 212-R=180
Subtract, -R=-32
Convert to positive, R=32º

With R=32º, we can find angle QST and PQR. Angle QST=2(32)+8=64+8=72º. So angle PQR=180º-72º=108º. The sum of a quadrilateral's interior angles is 360º:

32º+72º+108º+STR=360º
Combine like terms, 212º+STR=360º
Subtract, STR=148º

What is proving triangles congruent by ASA and AAS

anastassius [24]

So ASA is angle side angle, and that means that if you prove that the side, and the side adjacent to that side and the angle between those two sides are all congruent to another triangle's sides and angle, the triangles are both congruent.
The AAS is angle angle side, or something, so say you have a triangle and you prove that two of its angles are congruent along with a side to another triangle's, then it's AAS. I understand where the confusion might be. I guess it's just a matter of what you state first in your proof?

After all your hard work studying for Algorithms you, Alice and Bob end up stuck in a room full of deadly zombies! Luckily you h

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The most important quantity to consider in order to answer this question is the arrival time of the zombies from their initial position, which is the quotient between their distance to the visitors, divided the zombie's speed.

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

What is crucial to know is what is the time at which each zombie would reach Alice and Bob, and that is given by the quotient between the distance away each zombie is, divided by the zombie's speed:

$speed=\frac{distance}{time} \\time=\frac{distance}{seed} \\t_i=\frac{d_i}{s_i}$

Then, it is this quotient for each zombie, that one has to estimate given the input values distance and speed, and it is the output "time" ( $t_i$ ) for each zombie, what we need to analyze so as to prioritize an order regarding which zombie to kill first.

Part 2)

Shooting the closest zombie first is not a good idea, since the speed of that closest zombie may be much slower than another zombie further away, but with much larger speed. Again, the important value to analyze is the time that it would take each zombie to reach Alice and Bob.

Part 3)

Shooting the fastest zombie first is not a good idea either, because that fastest zombie could be located very far away from the visitors, and other zombies closer by may reach them first.

Part 4)

The order that should be used to kill the zombies is given by the value of the time to reach Bob and Alice based on the quotient distance (di) over speed (si) explained in Part 1). The zombie that shows smallest time should be shot first, and then the others in increasing order of time value.

Part 5)

Notice that the individual zombie information is not presented in the question, but the student should be able to calculate the quotients for each zombie, and considering that there could be at most one shot every second, estimate the number of seconds that the time for each zombie in increasing order would allow until the addition of shooting time per second in the appropriate order cannot match the arrival time of the zombies that are left.

One should count number of seconds from the first shot (to the zombie with shortest arrival time), and then increase in one unit (one shot per second), to the following zombie with slightly larger arrival time), and so on, until the addition of seconds (one second per shot and per increasing arrival time of zombie) exceeds the next zombie arrival time.

Use slope to determine if the following lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The lines are parallel, with the same slope of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel. If the slopes are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular. If they are neither of those cases, then they would be neither.

1) Since y = 5x + 1 is already in slope-intercept format (y = mx + b, in which m represents the slope) we know that 5 is the slope of that equation.

2) To find the slope of -5x + y = 6, let's just convert it to the slope-intercept format by isolating y on the left side like so:

$-5x + y = 6 \\y = 5x + 6$

(All you need to do is move -5x to the right side of the equation.) So, by looking at y = 5x + 6, we can do the same thing we did from step 1 and find that the slope is 5.

3) Since both of the equations' slopes are 5, they share the same slope - therefore, they are parallel.

Hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: A commercial bank.

if i could get brainliest that would be great

Step-by-step explanation:

Commercial banks are financial institutions whose functions, among many, are: offering banking services to individuals, groups and companies, to make profit. One of the roles performed by these types of financial institutions is to credit loans to individuals, small businesses, and other groups, and as such, they are the first line to which a small business, such as the one controlled by Glenn and Maggie, would go to, to request a loan to be able to open up their other branches. This bank would give them the loan and allow them to make profit, without having any ties to the banking institution, just as long as they return the investment given to them.

A line is infinitely long but is only one-dimensional.

A solid is three-dimensional but not infinite.

Geometric space is infinite but is three-dimensional.

So, that leaves a plane, which is two-dimensional and infinitely large. The answer is A plane!
