Well, to get the possible length you start with 6 in (0.5 feet) and add 5.5 feet multiple times. You could get 6, 11.5, 17, 22.5, 28, 33.5, 39, 44.5, 50, ...
Notice we missed the "35" option, which is, thus, not possible.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: 1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.

2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Given that the two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal line.

Given that

m∠2 = 2x + 54 and m∠6 = 6x - 11

Angle ∠2 and ∠6 are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Thus,

m∠2 = m∠6

2x + 54 = 6x - 11

flipe the equation

6x - 11 = 2x + 54

subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x - 11 = 2x - 2x + 54

4x - 11 = 54

adding 11 to both sides

4x - 11 + 11 = 54 + 11

4x = 65

dvide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 65/4

x = 16.2500    (round to 4 decimal places)

Part b)

We have already determined

x = 16.2500

Given

m∠2 = 2x + 54

substitute x = 16.2500 in the euation

        = 2(16.2500) + 54

        = 86.5°

As angle ∠2 and angle ∠1 lie on a straight line. Hence, the sum of their angles must be 180°.

i.e.

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

substituting m∠2 =  86.5° in the equation

m∠1 + 86.5°  = 180°

subtracting 86.5° from both sides

m∠1 + 86.5° - 86.5° = 180° - 86.5°

m∠1 = 93.5°

Therefore, the measure of angle m∠1 is:

  • m∠1 = 93.5°
