5 0

Answer:

a = -1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 3a = -5

3a = 1 / -5

3a = -1/5

a = (-1/5) / 3

a = -1/15

What is the measure of a base angle of an isosceles triangle if the measure of the vertex tangle is 38 degrees and the two congr
Anit [1.1K]

The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.

Let b =the measure of one of the base angles.

Let v = the measure of the the vertex angle.

The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.

v = b + b − 40 = 2 b − 40

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

b + b + v = 180

Substitute 2 b − 40 for v .

b + b + 2 b − 40 = 180

4 b − 40 = 180

+40+40

Combine like terms.

Add 40 to both sides.

4b=220

Divide by 4

4 b/4 = 220 /4

b = 55

v = 2 b − 40

v = 2 ( 55 ) − 40 = 70

Find the missing length. If needed route to the nearest 10th. The length of X is? PLEASE ANSWER AND EXPLAIN PLEASEEE
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:x =8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABG is similar to triangle DBE. This means that the ratio of the length of each side of ∆ABG to the length of the corresponding side of ∆DBE is constant. Therefore,

AB/DB = BG/BE = AG/DE

AB = 11

BG = 10 + x

Therefore,

11/6 = (x + 10)/10

Cross multiplying, it becomes

6(x + 10) = 11 × 10

6x + 60 = 110

Subtracting 60 from left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

6x + 60 - 60 = 110 - 60

6x = 50

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 6, it becomes

6x/6 = 50/6

x = 8.3 rounded up to the nearest tenth

HURRY PLEASE!!!!! Triangle RST is translated 2 units left and then reflected over the y-axis.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct options are 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of triangle are S(-4,4), T(-1,4), R(-1,1).

If triangle translated 2 units left,

(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)

and then reflected over the y-axis,

(x-2,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

The relation between image and preimage is

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)                          ..... (1)

The vertices of image are

S(-4,4)\rightarrow S'(6,4)

T(-1,4)\rightarrow T'(3,4)

R(-1,1)\rightarrow R'(3,1)

Therefore the vertices of image are S'(6,4),T'(3,4), R'(3,1).

1. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 1 is correct.

2. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units right, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 2 is correct.

3. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 3 is incorrect.

4. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units left, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 4 is incorrect.

5. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 5 is incorrect.

6. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 6 is incorrect.

Therefore the correct options are 1 and 2.

Jolly had 12 burgers from the start.

if his five friends ate 2, you'd multiply that and get 10, then you add how many Jolly ate, which is 12.
