Find the measurement parallelogram.<br> I need help please, thank you.<br> I need explanation
blondinia [14]

Answer:

2.) 145°

4.) 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

2.) First find the measure of Angle Y, since they are supplementary;

∠Z + ∠Y = 180

35 + ∠Y = 180

∠Y = 180 - 35

∠Y = 145°

So ∠X would be 145° as well

4.) First find the measure of Angle F, since they are supplementary;

∠C + ∠F = 180

130 + ∠F  = 180

∠F = 180 -130

∠F = 50°

So ∠E would be 50°

(I didn't explain it much in detail, since this question is similar to the previous that i answered :)

Hope this helps!

How do you decide where to put a point when you are graphing?
elena55 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

When deciding where to put an ordered pair on a graph its important to understand how ordered pairs work.

An ordered pair is split up into to pieces

(x,y) or number example (3,5)

When graphing the x coordinate will fall on your horizontal line or the line that looks like the horizon.

When graphing the y coordinate it will fall on your vertical line or the line that goes right up into the sky like a rocket.  

To graph (3,5)

Go to the right 3 and up 5

Sometimes helps to use both fingers to keep your spot. Slide both fingers until they collide and that's where you would plot your point!

Hope this helps if you have an questions just comment and ill try to explain further.

2 1/2 ÷ 1 5/8 =<br><br> Two and a half divided by one and five eights
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
So first of all we can't start by changing them both into improper fractions

So it would be:
5/2 divided by 13/8
From there you would do 5/2 * 8/13 which could convert to
5/1 * 4/13 which would be 20/13

A dress listed from $119 is discounted 25%. What is the sale price of the dress including a 7 1/2 state sales tax?
Daniel [21]
If it is discounted 25%, then u r actually paying 75%

0.75(119) = 89.25 (without tax)

sales tax = 7 1/2% = 7.5% = 0.075
89.25(1.075) = $ 95.94 <===
