Because the 2 sides of the triangle are the same, they are both 21, the two bottom angles would also be the same.
The 3 inside angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees.
The top angle is given as 38, so the remaining two angles must equal 180 - 38 = 142 degrees.
Since the 2 bottom angles would be the same, divide 142 by 2 to get x.
X = 142 / 2 = 71 degrees.
<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Here are all of the justifications for each step
- Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
- Step 2. Distributive property
- Step 3. Multiply (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
- Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the -15 and 4x terms swap places.
- Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
- Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.
For perpendicular lines, the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. Therefore, the slope of QC = 3/2
Using this into the formula of slope:
3/2 = (y + 6) / (-1 + 3)
y = -9
If the slope of CD is 2/3, then y works out to be -3.
If you would like to know the Tom's pay for the week, you can calculate this using the following steps:
P = B * h
P ... the pay
B ... the base pay
h ... the number of hours worked
B = $6.35
h = 28 hours
P = B * h = $6.35 * 28 hours = $177.8
<span>Tom's pay for the week would be $177.8.</span>
