So the ration is 4:7

The total of houses is 32 new houses. What I did was I divided 32 by 4:

32/4 = 8

That means that the ratio (4:7) would be multiplied by 8 (only the :7 part):

7 * 8 = 56

There are 56 old houses (the ratio is now 32:56)

An isosceles triangle has an angle that measures 38degrees. What measures are possible for the other two angles? Choose all that

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

71° and 71°.

⠀

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle having two sides equal along with one different side is called an isosceles triangle.

⠀

So, Let us assume the other sides (two equal sides) of the isosceles triangle as x. As the different side is already given in the question.

⠀

We know that,

The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

⠀

So, According to the question :

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { { 38 \: }^{ \circ} + x + x = 180{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { { 38 \: }^{ \circ} + 2x = 180{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { 2x = 180{}^{ \circ} - { 38 \: }^{ \circ}}}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { 2x = 142{}^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \ { x = \dfrac{142{}^{ \circ}}{2} }}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \it\qquad { \pmb { x = 71^{ \circ} }}}$

⠀

Therefore,

The measure of the two other angles of the isosceles triangle are 71° and 71°.

£72 shared in the ratio of 2:7

Goryan [66]

To do that we have to add 2+7=9
Next step is to divide 72 by 9
72:9=8 - its how many pounds its in"1"
Finally we can multiply
2*8=16
7*8=56 - its the answer
