we know that

An <u>angle bisector</u> is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles

in this problem

m∠RST=m∠RSV+m∠VST

m∠RSV=m∠VST

hence

m∠RST=2*m∠RSV --------> equation 1

we have

m∠RST=(6x-24)

m∠RSV=(2x+8)

Substitute in the equation 1

6x-24=2*(2x+8)

6x-24=4x+16

6x-4x=16+24

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20 degrees

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

D definition of angle bisector

and the value of x is 20 degrees

Which of the following scenarios demonstrates sampling bias? (A) To estimate the ethnic background distribution of residents of

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling bias is a problem during the initial data gathering step of a survey.

When the first step is wrong, then the survey cannot produce non biased results.

The problem occurs when the design of the study is wrong the data collection procedure is wrong.

So, here answer seems C, because the starting point is not selected at random in this survey.

(C) Jean wants to estimate the mean amount of money spent on clothes per week by mall shoppers. She collects data from every 10th person entering a clothing store at the mall.

21.) A rectangle has an area of 36 square units. As the length and width change, what do you know about their

natima [27]

Answer:

the length and the width are inversely proportional to each other ( $l=\frac{36}{w}$ or $w=\frac{36}{l}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

l units = length of the rectangle,

w units = width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is

$\text{Area}=\text{Length}\cdot \text{Width}$

A rectangle has an area of 36 square units, so

$l\cdot w=36$

Complete the table with some values of l and w that fit the previous formula:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Length}&\text{Width}&\text{Area}\\ \\36&1&36\cdot 1=36\ un^2.\\18&2&18\cdot 2=36 \ un^2.\\12&3&12\cdot 3=36\ un^2.\\ 9&4&9\cdot 4=36\ un^2.\\l&w&l\cdot w=36 \ un^2.\end{array}$
