Answer:

x = -8 + √114 ≈ 2.7 [nearest tenth]

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆CAB ≅ ∆CDB, you can use CPCTC [corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent] to evaluate the given lengths and angle measures, to show that the corresponding measures are the same for both triangles. Using the triangle sum theorem which states that all angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can find ∠ACB.

If ∠CAB = 70°, and ∠ABC = 60°,

∠ACB = 50° because ∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°.

∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° →

∠ACB = 180° – ∠CAB – ∠ABC

∠ACB = 180° – 70° – 60°

∠ACB = 50°

70° + 60° + 50° = 180°.

Remember, the order of the letters in the angle are very important because it corresponds to the parts of the angle that make up the vertex which is the middle letter, along with the first and last letters which are the endpoints.

Because ∆CAB ≅ ∆CDB,

∠ACB ≅ ∠DCB [CPCTC].

As indicated in the problem, ∠DCB = (x² + 16x)°.

Because ∠DCB ≅ ∠ACB = 50°,

(x² + 16x)° = 50°.

So this can be completed as a square by converting this into vertex form.

x² + 16x = (x + 8)² – 64.

Then, (x + 8)² – 64 = 50.

(x + 8)² – 64 + 64 = 50 + 64 →

(x + 8)² = 114 →

(x + 8) = ±√114 →

x = -8 ± √114 [one more step]

[The measure must be positive so the expression must be added]

x = -8 + √114.

Fragrant Fields Greenhouse sells rose bushes for $19.90 each. Last weekend, they made $477.60 on rose bushes. How many rose bush
Kipish [7]

Answer:

24 brushes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

cost per brush= $19.90

Amount made =$477.60

hence the number of brushes sold is given as

Number of brushes= 477.60/19.90

Number of brushes= 477.60/19.90

Number of brushes= 24 brushes

Can someone help me out please
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

D. g(x) = (x - 5)² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a graph is translated horizontally, the value will affect x inside of the parentheses. For example, (x + #) or (x - #).

If a function is translated to the right, there will be a (-) sign. If a function is translated to the left, there will be a (+) sign.

This function needs to be translated 5 units to the right. Therefore, the equation will be: g(x) = (x - 5)² + 3

A) A plane takes off at 50 feet below sea level and climbs 1,542 feet. At what altitude is the plant currently flying?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

A) 1,492

B) 1,908

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The equation set up for this part is 1,542-50=1,492 We know that we're subtracting 50 from 1,542 because it say that the plane starts below sea level.

B) The equation set up for this part is 3,400-1,492=1,908 We know that we're subtracting the answer from part A from 3,400 because the plane will need to climb the difference in order to reach 3,400.

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle
prohojiy [21]
Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x).  Then  270 - 3x = 180 - x, or   270 - 180 = 2x.
                                                                               90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true?     3(90-45) = (180-45)?  If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
