Answer:

x = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ PSR and ∠ TSU are vertical angles and congruent, then

∠ PSR = 4x, thus ∠ PSQ = x

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ SQR is an exterior angle of Δ PQS , thus

x + x = 68

2x = 68 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 34

Answer:

X = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will need to know the following, when two lines intersect the opposite angles at that point are equal to each other, that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, and that the angle of a straight line is equal to 180 degrees.

Frist we will have to notice that ∠TSU is equal to ∠PSR, because they are opposite to each other (If you would like to understand this more you can research on a topic call "vertical angels"). Now it is important to understand the following.

∠PSR  = ∠PSQ + QSR

Since ∠PSR = ∠TSU = 4x, ∠QSR = 3x ⇒

⇒ ∠PSR  = ∠PSQ + QSR

   4x = ∠PSQ + 3x

   4x - 3x = ∠PSQ

   x = ∠PSQ

Now, since the sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180 we can now say the following:

∠QPS + ∠PSQ + ∠PQS = 180°

In order to find out what PQS is equal to we need to use our knowledge about the angel of a strait line (the angel of a strait line is equal to 180°).

So now we can say the following:

180° = ∠PQS + SQR

∠PQS = 180° - ∠SQR

Since we know that ∠SQR = 68° ⇒

⇒∠PQS = 180° - ∠SQR

  ∠PQS = 180° - 68°

  ∠PQS = 112°

Since ∠QPS = x, PSQ = x, and ∠PQS = 112° ⇒

⇒ ∠QPS + ∠PSQ + ∠PQS = 180°

   x + x + 112° = 180°

  2x = 180° - 112°

  2x = 68°

  x = 34°

A rectangle has an area of 36 inches squared. Write an equation to show how the length (l) varies inversely the width (w).
Anastaziya [24]
Start with the first sentence, and the definition of the area of a rectangle:
l * w = 36

Rewrite the equation to get
l = 36 / w
or
w = 36 / l
Either one shows the inverse relationship between w and l.

Assuming the last part wants you to write an equation for an x-y graph, the equation would be
y = 36 / x
