Answer:

120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the constant of proportionality between the angles of the given triangle be x.

Hence,

The Measure of The First Angle = 2x

The Measure of The Second Angle = 3x

The Measure of The Third Angle = 10x

The Angle Sum Property Of A Triangle says that the sum of all angles of any triangle is 180.

Hence,

$2x+3x+10x=180\\15x=180\\x=180/15\\x=12$

As the Constant Of Proportionality obtained is 12

Hence,

The Measure of The First Angle = 2*12 = 24

The Measure of The Second Angle = 3*12 = 36

The Measure of The Third Angle = 10*12 = 120

As The Third Angle is the largest, its measure is 120.

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle = 180°:

2 + 3 + 10 = 15

then:

180/15 = 12

then, the measure of the largest angle:

10 * 12 = 120°

Gina takes classes at both Westside Community College and Pinewood Community College. At Westside, class fees are $98 per credit

Kipish [7]

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "w" the credit hours at Westside Gina is taking.

You know that class fees are $98 per credit hour at Westside, then the expression for the dollar amount she paid for her class fees at Westside is:

$98w$

Since she is taking a combined total of 13 credit hours at the two schools, the credit hours at Pinewood Gina is taking can be represented by this expression:

$13-w$

You know that class fees are $115 per credit hour at Pinewood, then the dollar amount she paid for her class fees at Pinewood can be expressed as:

$115(13-w)$

Therefore, the expression for the combined total dollar amount she paid for her class fees is:

$total\ paid=98w+115(13-w)\\\\total\ paid= -17w + 1495$

Which expression is equivalent to 36/(4 + y)?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

B) 36/(y+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the process of elimination.

A cannot work because we are changing the operation. Instead of dividing thirty-six by the sum of four and a number, we are dividing thirty-six by four, then adding the unknown number. This is not the same as the original expression, so we know it is not this.

Next, check C. C doesn't seem right either. Remember that, unlike multiplication and addition, you cannot flip the order in which the operation is being done and still get the same answer. C says four plus a number divided by thirty-six, which is entirely different from our original expression. So the answer is not C.

And finally, check D. D doesn't work either. With D, we are dividing thirty-six by a number, then adding it to thirty-six divided by four. This is not the same as our original expression, so D isn't it.

That leaves us with B. Does it work? Yes, because changing the y and the four still will give the same thing. And yes, because 36 is being divided by the sum of that number and four. So it is our answer.

Work out the length of CD <br> Answer to 3 significant figures

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I can be wrong but i most likely sure it is correct because a triangle is 180 degrees you have to add 102 with 52 take that total and subtract it with 180 to find that angle is what you need to find the length. Again i am not sure but might be right.
