Step One
Find RST
The two base angles are given as equal and one of the is 28. So is the other one.
SRT = 28
STR = 28
All triangles have interior angles that add up to 180 degrees.

RST + SRT + STR = 180
28 + 28 + RST = 180
56 + RST = 180 Subtract 56 from both sides.
RST = 180 - 56
RST = 124

Step two
Find the exterior angle
The exterior angle = Sum of the two remote interior angles (RST + SRT)
The exterior angle = 28 + 124
The exterior angle = 152

Step Three
Find the value of x
2*x = 152 Divide by 2
x = 152 / 2
x = 76

There is a quicker way of finding the exterior angle. I didn't see it until I had written step two.
The exterior angle + STR = 180 degrees. They are supplementary.
The exterior angle + 28 = 180
The exterior angle = 180 - 28
The exterior angle = 152

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a even: $\frac{3}{6} -> \frac{1}{2}$

Coin on heads: $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{4}$

Adrian has a points card for a movie theater.

ANEK [815]

Answer: v ≥ 6

This means that Adrian needs to do at least 6 visits.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that he gets 20 points just for signing up, so he starts with 20 points.

Now, if he makes v visits, knowing that he gets 2.5 points per visit, he will have a total of:

20 + 2.5*v

points.

And he needs to get at least 35 points, then the total number of points must be such that:

points ≥ 35

and we know that:

points = 20 + 2.5*v

then we have the inequality:

20 + 2.5*v ≥ 35

Now we can solve this for v, so we need to isolate v in one side of the equation:

2.5*v ≥ 35 - 20 = 15

2.5*v ≥ 15

v ≥ 15/2.5 = 6

v ≥ 6

So he needs to make at least 6 visits.

Hi I really need help with this question please,

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

${ ( \sqrt{30 - x} )}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 30 - x = {x}^{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} + x - 30 = 0 \\ delta = 1 - 4 \times ( - 30) \times 1 = 121 \\ x1 = \frac{ - 1 + \sqrt{121} }{2 \times 1} = \frac{ - 1 + 11}{2} = 5 \\ x2 = \frac{ - 1 - \sqrt{121} }{2 \times 1} = \frac{ - 1 - 11}{2} = - 6 \\$
