Answer:

$\frac{Sin(80)}{RS} = \frac{Sin(52.5)}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

S = 52.5°

s = QR = 7

Q = 80°

q = RS = ?

Required:

Equation that could be used to find the length of RS

Solution:

We would need the law of Sines which is given as:

$\frac{Sin(A)}{a} = \frac{Sin(B)}{b} = \frac{Sin(C)}{c}$

Applying the Law of Sines, we would have the following equation:

$\frac{Sin(Q)}{q} = \frac{Sin(S)}{s}$

Plug in the values

$\frac{Sin(80)}{RS} = \frac{Sin(52.5)}{7}$

Therefore, the equation that can be used to determine the length of RS is $\frac{Sin(80)}{RS} = \frac{Sin(52.5)}{7}$

Prove ΔPAB is isosceles.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If $PX\cong PY,$ then triangle PXY is isosceles triangle. Angles adjacent to the base XY of an isosceles triangle PXY are congruent, so

$\angle 1\cong \angle 2$

and

$m\angle 1=m\angle 2$

Angles 1 and 3 are supplementary, so

$m\angle 3=180^{\circ}-m\angle 1$

Angles 2 and 4 are supplementary, so

$m\angle 4=180^{\circ}-m\angle 2$

By substitution property,

$m\angle 4=180^{\circ}-m\angle 2=180^{\circ}-m\angle 1=m\angle 3$

Hence,

$\angle 3\cong \angle 4$

Consider triangles APX and BPY. In these triangles:

$PX\cong PY$ - given;
$\angle 5\cong \angle 6$ - given;
$\angle 3\cong \angle 4$ - proven,

so $\triangle APX\cong \triangle BPY$ by ASA postulate.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, then

$AP\cong BP$

Therefore, triangle APB is isosceles triangle (by definition).

How would you compare two ratios given in words?

zysi [14]

Compared? By finding the LCM of the consequents of both the ratios, divide the LCM with the consequents, and finally, multiply both the numerator and the denominator of both the ratios with the answer to find out the compared ratio

X + 9y = 8 x − 4y = –18

loris [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 9y = - 18 \\ 8x - 4y = - 18 \\ x = - 18 - 9y \\ 8( - 18 - 9y) - 4y = - 18 \\ - 144 - 72y - 4y = - 18 \\ - 76y = 126 \\ y = - 1.66 \\$

$x = - 18 - 9y \\ x = - 18 - 9( - 1.66) \\ x = - 18 + 14.94 \\ x = - 3.06$

What is the difference?

Len [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x/(x²+3x+2) - 1/[(x+2)(x+1)]

x² + 3x + 2 = x² + 2x + x + 2

= x(x + 2) + (x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x + 1)

= x/[(x+2)(x+1)] - 1/[(x+2)(x+1)]

= (x-1)/[(x+2)(x+1)]

= (x-1)/(x²+3x+2)
