Well you can check what type of angle it is! like depending on how it is slouched like a right angle is 90° for example.
Add the 3 item totals, then divide that number by 100, then, take that number and multiply by 9 (this gets the tax total). then you are going to want to add the total of the 3 items, and the tax amount, and you have your answer. do this with all the peoples items :)
Answer:
m∠WXZ = 38°
m∠ZXY = 52°
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question
- ∠WXZ and ∠ZXY are two adjacent angles and formed together ∠WXY
- That means the measure of ∠WXY equal the sum of measures of ∠WXZ and ∠ZXY
∵ ∠WXY is a right angle
→ That means its measure is 90°
∴ m∠WXY = 90°
∵ m∠WXZ + m∠ZXY = m∠WXY
∵ m∠WXZ = (5x + 3)°
∵ m∠ZXY = (8x - 4)°
∵ m∠WXY = 90°
→ Substitute their values in the equation above
∴ (5x + 3) + (8x - 4) = 90
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∵ (5x + 8x) + (3 - 4) = 90
∴ 13x + (-1) = 90
∴ 13x - 1 = 90
→ Add 1 to both sides
∴ 13x - 1 + 1 = 90 + 1
∴ 13x = 91
→ Divide both sides by 13
∴
∴ x = 7
→ To find the measure of each angle substitute x by 7 in their measures
∵ m∠WXZ = 5x + 3
∴ m∠WXZ = 5(7) + 3
∴ m∠WXZ = 35 + 3
∴ m∠WXZ = 38°
∵ m∠ZXY = 8x - 4
∴ m∠ZXY = 8(7) - 4
∴ m∠ZXY = 56 - 4
∴ m∠ZXY = 52°
There are infinity of fractions equal to 1/2, it just means half of a number, so for example, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12 are all equal to 1/2 and so on
