Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
angle 1 plus angle 2 equals 90 because they are complementary. combining like terms gives you 8x + 18 = 90. then you get 8x = 72, which means that x equals 9
R x 9
multiplication problem, r times 9
could also be 9r
5y - 16 + 3y + 20 = 180 degrees
Combine like terms on the left side
8y + 4 = 180
Subtract 4 from both sides.
8y = 176
Divide both sides by 8
y = 22
Plug 22 into y for each angle.
3y + 20 = 3(22) + 20 = 66 + 20 = 86 degrees
5y - 16 = 5(22) - 16 = 110 - 16 = 94
The angle opposite 5y - 16 also equals 94 because they are vertical angles.
The angle opposite of 3y + 20 also equals 86 because they are vertical angles
If it is 5ft a minute then it must be 10ft every two minutes
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7
where b represents the base.
Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a
We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
