-11 = a + 7 Given
-7 -7 Subtract 7 on each side to cancel out +7 and isolate variable
-18 = a Answer
Prove.
-11 = -18 + 7 Plug in variable value
-11 = -11
True.
Answer:
They are 9, 5 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<h2>b = 15°</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If Pq = RQ then ΔPQR is the isosceles triangle. The angles QPR and PRQ have the same measures.
We know: The sum of the measures of the angeles in the triangle is equal 180°. Therefore we have the equation:
m∠QPR + m∠PRQ + m∠RQP = 180°
We have
m∠QPR = m∠PRQ and m∠RQP = 60°
Therefore
2(m∠QPR) + 60° = 180° <em>subtract 60° from both sides</em>
2(m∠QPR) = 120° <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
m∠QPR = 60° and m∠PRQ = 60°
Therefore ΔPRQ is equaliteral.
ΔPSR is isosceles. Therefore ∠SPR and ∠PRS are congruent. Therefore
m∠SPR = m∠PRS
In ΔAPS we have:
m∠SPR + m∠PRS + m∠RSP = 180°
2(m∠SPR) + 90° = 180° <em>subtract 90° from both sides</em>
2(m∠SPR) = 90° <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
m∠SPR = 45° and m∠PRS = 45°
m∠PRQ = m∠PRS + b
Susbtitute:
60° = 45° + b <em>subtract 45° from both sides</em>
15° = b
