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
If G is the midpoint of FH find FG
fg=11x-7 gh= 3x+9
Answer:
D) cot(C) = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can go through each choice and examine is validity.
Choice A)
We have:

Recall that secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent.
With respect to B, the adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 7.
Therefore, sec(B) should be 7/6 instead.
A is incorrect.
Choice B)
We have:

Cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to B, the adjacent side is 6 and the opposite side is 3.
Therefore, cot(B) = 6/3 = 2.
B is incorrect.
Choice C)
C is incorrect for the reasons listed in A.
Choice D)
We have:

Again, cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to C, the adjacent side is 3 and the opposite side is 6.
So, cot(C) = 3/6 = 1/2.
Therefore, D is the correct choice!
Answer:
D Numbers that can be written as fractions
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>rational</em> number is one that can be written as a <em>ratio</em>: a fraction with integer numerator and denominator.

The term "decimal" as used here is sufficiently non-specific that we cannot seriously consider it to be part of a suitable answer. A terminating or repeating decimal will be a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal will not be a rational number.
While integers and whole numbers are included in the set of rational numbers, by themselves, they do not constitute the best description of the set of rational numbers.
