Assume we cut the last piece of the pie into two sections (1 and 2) along ray BD

Answer:

If we want the greatest portion of pie, then you must choose the section with the greatest angle. Therefore, we must choose Section 2. But if we want the smallest portion of pie, then we must choose Section 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement, we know that measure of the angle ABC is equal to the sum of measures of angles ABD (<em>section 1</em>) and DBC (<em>section 2</em>), that is to say:

m \angle ABC = m\angle ABD + m\angle DBC (1)

If we know that m\angle ABC = 40^{\circ}, m\angle ABD = 2\cdot x + 3 and m\angle DBC = 4\cdot x + 7, then the value of x is:

(2\cdot x + 3)+(4\cdot x + 7) = 40^{\circ}

6\cdot x +10^{\circ} = 40^{\circ}

6\cdot x = 30^{\circ}

x = 5

Then, we check the angles of each section:

Section 1

m\angle ABD = 2\cdot x + 3

m\angle ABD = 13^{\circ}

Section 2

m\angle DBC = 4\cdot x + 7

m\angle DBC = 27^{\circ}

If we want the greatest portion of pie, then you must choose the section with the greatest angle. Therefore, we must choose Section 2. But if we want the smallest portion of pie, then we must choose Section 1.

What is the measure of angle X?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> M
slava [35]

Answer:

x = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

Let's make an equation.

x + 102 + 31 = 180

x + 133         = 180

x                   = 47

The distance from the school to the library is 12 miles. The distance from the school to the park is 75% of this distance.
strojnjashka [21]
75% of 12 can be represented with the equation 75/100=x/12

Then to solve
75(12)= 100x
900 = 100x
9=x

So the distance from the school to the park is 9 miles.
