She didn’t multiply -1/4 by 12 in order to get -1/4x + 3 = -1
which would change her answer, because then you have to subtract 3 from -1 and get -4. Then divide -1/4 & get 16. It changed to positive because of the division & multiplication rule with two negative numbers.
Hope this helps.
First of all, you have to manipulate the equation into the standard

form. You can simplify the 1's on both sides and you have

This means that your coefficients are

And since the solving formula is

Plugging your values yields

Answer:
Part 1) The measure of angle d is 65°
Part 2) The measure of angle c is 89°
Part 3) The measure of arc a is 131°
Part 4) The measure of arc b is 47°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary
step 1
Find the measure of angle d
∠d+115°=180°
∠d=180°-115°=65°
step 2
Find the measure of angle c
∠c+91°=180°
∠c=180°-91°=89°
step 3
Find the measure of arc a
we know that
The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising
115°=(1/2)[99°+arc a]
230°=[99°+arc a]
arc a=230°-99°=131°
step 4
Find the measure of arc b
we know that
The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising
∠c=(1/2)[arc a+arc b]
substitute the values
89°=(1/2)[131°+arc b]
178°=[131°+arc b]
arc b=178°-131°=47°
Answer:
25.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ft 7 in = 5.583 ft.
We have 2 similar triangles here.
If h is the height of the tree, then:
h / 5.583 = 18/4
h = 18*5.583/4
h = 25.12 ft
The answer is One solution because the two lines are crossing each other and has one point in common
