3o'clock - directly to the right of the origin; on the x axis - (5,0)
6o'clock - directly below the origin; on the y-axis - (0,-5)
9o'clock - directly to the left of the origin; on the x-axis, (-5,0)
12o'clock - directly above the origin; on the y-axis, - (5,0)
83 is a whole number and cannot be simplified.
Answer:
x = 16
m<Y = 34°
Step-by-step explanation:
∆XYZ is an isosceles ∆. An isosceles ∆ has two equal sides, as well as the bases of the isosceles triangle are congruent. In this case, therefore:
<X = <Z
(6x - 23)° = (4x + 9)
Solve for x
6x - 23 = 4x + 9
Collect like terms
6x - 4x = 23 + 9
2x = 32
Divide both sides by 2
x = 16
m<Y = 180° - (m<X + m<Z) (sum of ∆)
m<Y = 180 - ((6x - 23) + (4x + 9))
Plug in the value of x
m<Y = 180 - ((6(16) - 23) + (4(16) + 9))
m<Y = 180 - (73 + 73)
m<Y = 34°
