If one of the exterior angles is 40, you can find its adjacent interior angle by subtracting 40 from 180. This is 40, so the triangle has 2 interior angles that are equal to 40. Now we have 2 of 3 interior angles. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, so we can set this equation up:
x + 40 + 40 = 180
x + 80 = 180
x = 100
So the triangle's angles have measures of 40,40 and 100 degrees.
Answer:
5 felt pads.
7 cards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
- The total number of items is 12
- So let the felt sheets be x
- Let the cards = y
Equations and Solution
x + y = 12
Now the price is 7.75 that she has to pay for the 12 items. She wants to come back with 0 dollars.
0.5x + 0.75y = 7.75 Multiply this equation by 2
x + 1.5y = 15.50 write the first equation underneath and subtract.
<u>x + y = 12</u>
.5y = 3 Divide by 0.5
y = 3/0.5
y = 7
So she can get 7 cards.
x + y = 12
x + 7 = 12
x = 12 - 7
x = 5
So she can buy 5 felt pads.
Answer:
B)x=23
y=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.
The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:
(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
If the first roll is a 4, the possibilities to add less than 8 are that the second cube roll is 1, 2 or 3.
These are 3 different events out of 6 possilbe ones, which is 3 / 6 = 1 / 2; i.e. half of times.
Then the answer is the first option: 1 / 2
