<h2><u>ISOSCELES TRIANGLE</u></h2>

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. In this exercise, we see small lines on two of the sides. This means that those sides are equal.

‎      ‏‏‎

Equalize the expressions:

<h3>6x - 23 = 4x + 9</h3>

Add 23 to both sides of the equation:

6x - 23 + 23 = 4x + 9 + 23

‎      ‏‏‎‎      ‏‏‎‎    6x = 4x + 32

Substract 4x from both sides:

6x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 32

    ‏‏‎‎  2x = 32

Finally, divide both sides by 2:

\mathsf{\dfrac{2x}{2} = \dfrac{32}{2}}

\large{\boxed{\mathsf{x = 16}}}

‎      ‏‏‎

Now, let's find the measures of the angles:

  • (6x - 23)° = 6(16) - 23 = 96 - 23 = 73°
  • (4x + 9)° = 4(16) + 9 = 64 + 9 = 73°

‎      ‏‏‎

Remember: The sum of the three angles of any triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Let's find the measure of the angle Y:

73° + 73° + Y = 180°

146° + Y = 180°

Y = 180° - 146°

Y = 34°

‎      <u>‏‏‎</u>

<h3><u>Answer</u>. m∠Y = 34°</h3>

An electrician charges Mr. Speer $300 before sales tax, for wiring his home. (a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the sales tax percent. In order to solve the question, let's assume that the sales tax is 6%.

(a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer has to pay?

This will be:

= Sales tax percent × Amount charged

= 6% × $300

= 6/100 × $300

= 0.06 × $300

= $18

The sale tax is $18

(b) What is the total amount Mr. Speer has to pay?.

The total amount will be the addition of the amount charged and the sales tax. This will be:

= $300 + $18

= $318

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the June 2007 issue, Consumer Reports also examined the relative merits of top-loading and front-loading washing machines, testing samples of several different brands of each type.

The difference in mean values test gave a p value of 0.32

Confidence level = 95%

Alpha = 1-0.95 = 0.05

Compare p with alpha, here p >alpha

Hence we accept null hypothesis that there is no difference in the means.

Confidence interval method also will yield the same result.  i.e. confidence interval for difference of means would definitely contain 0 at 95% conf level.

So answer is yes

Ahat [919]
Distance = r x t ===> t=d/r

Distance (after 2 hours driving @30mil/hr) = 2 x 30 = 60 Mil

To drive same distance (60)  with r = 50, the time needed is 60/50 =1.2 hrs
