Answer:

41°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angle measures in a triangle: 180°

So,

108 + x + 5 + x - 5 = 180

Simplify.

2x + 108 = 180

Subtract 108 from both sides.

2x = 72

x = 36

Substitute x = 36 into (x + 5)

m∠A = 36 + 5 = 41

Thus, the answer is 41°

A survey of 1,000 men and women asked, "Do you earn over $50,000 per year?" The table below shows the responses for males and fe

frutty [35]

Male Female Total
Income over $50,000 485 385 870
Income below $50,000 65 65 130
Total 550 450 1,000

Probability of being male: 550/1000 = 0.55
Probability of earning over $50,000: 870/1000 = 0.87

0.55 x 0.87 = 0.4785

Probability of being male and earning over $50,000: 485/550 = 0.8818

C) No, P(being male | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ P(being male)

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth

marishachu [46]

You will have to use trig to solve this:

The side you have is adjacent to the known angle

The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle

^^^This means you need to use tan:

tan(24) = $\frac{x}{12}$
