Answers:
x = 100
y = 25
==============================================================
Explanation:
Angle y and the 25 degree angle are corresponding angle. Because the lines are parallel, this means that y = 25
Check out the attached image. Using a red pen, I extended one of the lines to form a triangle. From the alternate interior angle theorem, we know that one of the angles of the triangle is 75 degrees (alternate interior angles are congruent). Again this stems from the fact that the lines are parallel.
I've also introduced the variable z to help find x. The angles x and z add up to 180 degrees since they form a straight line. So we need to find z before we can find x.
The triangle's angles 25, 75, z add up to 180. Let's solve for z
25+75+z = 180
100+z = 180
z = 180-100
z = 80
Use this to find x
x+z = 180
x+80 = 180
x = 180-80
x = 100
Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
Answer:
5.5 pints is the answer to this
Answer:
37 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right triangle as it elan's against the wall of the boat house.
Thus, the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagorean theorem.
c² = a² + b²
c = length of ladder
a = 35 ft
b = 12 ft
Plug in the values
c² = 35² + 12²
c² = 1,225 + 144
c² = 1,369
c = √1,369
c = 37
Therefore, to reach the roof of the boathouse, the length of the ladder = 37 ft
