Answer:

x=110, y=50

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line perpendicular to the base CD from point A. The point of intersection is E. Angle AED=90 degrees. This is a right angle triangle. A triangle has a total angle of 180 degrees. Angle DAE is then 180-(90+70) = 20. The bases of a trapezoid are parallel to each other, making angle EAB a right angle. Add 90 + 20, and you'll get 110 degrees. This is the value of x.

Draw another line perpendicular to the base CD, this time from point B. The point of intersection is F. Angle ABF is 90 degrees. Angle FBC is 130-90=40. Angle BFC is also 90 degrees. You once again find the difference of the numbers from 180. 180-(40+90)=180-130=50. y=50 degrees.

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup = 8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = $0.56 \cdot 4=2.24$
