Answer:

65.57

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1</u><u>:</u>

\frac{y}{79} :\frac{17}{100}

y · 100 = 17 · 79

100y = 1343

100y ÷ 100 = 1343 ÷ 100

y = 13.43

79 - 13.43

65.57

<u>Method 2</u><u>:</u>

100% - 17% = 83%

\frac{y}{79} :\frac{83}{100}

y · 100 = 83 · 79

100y = 6557

100y ÷ 100 = 6557 ÷ 100

y = 65.57

The expressions 10/12(245b−365) and 2/3(3b+6) represent the lengths of the diagonals of parallelogram WXYZ. For what value of b
makkiz [27]

Answer:

b = 1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of diagonals of a parallelogram = \frac{10}{12}(245b - 365) and \frac{2}{3}(3b+6)

If the given parallelogram is a rectangle,

Length of the diagonals will be equal in measure,

Therefore, \frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)=\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)

245b - 365 = \frac{12}{10}\times \frac{2}{3}(3b+6)

245b - 365 = \frac{4}{5}(3b+6)

5(245b - 365) = 4(3b + 6)

1225b - 1825 = 12b + 24

1225b - 12b = 24 + 1825

1213b = 1849

b = \frac{1849}{1213}

b = 1.52

Can anyone help me with this geometry two column proof
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 + ∠2 = 180                      Linear pair

∠4 + ∠5 +∠ 3 = 180             form straight line

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3        from statement 1 and 2

∠3 +∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3          ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles.

∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5                           Proved

Please help me. It’s geometry
Verizon [17]

Option 3:

m∠ABC = 66°

Solution:

Given \overline {F A D} \| \overline {E H C} and ABH is a transversal line.

m∠FAB = 48° and m∠ECB = 18°

m∠ECB = m∠HCB = 18°

<u>Property of parallel lines: </u>

<em>If two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.</em>

m∠FAB = m∠BHC

48° = m∠BHC

m∠BHC = 48°

<u>Exterior angle of a triangle theorem: </u>

<em>An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

m∠ABC = m∠BHC + m∠HCB

m∠ABC = 48° + 18°

m∠ABC = 66°

Option 3 is the correct answer.
