Answer:

<em>12/15 acres of land </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total measure of land = 2 2/5acres

Total brothers = 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = Total measure of land/Total brother

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = (2 2/5)/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 2 2/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 * 1/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/15

<em>Hence each brother will receive 12/15 acres of land </em>

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid with AB || DC. If m∠A = 125 and m∠B = 99, find m∠C/

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The measure of angle C is $81\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If AB || DC

then

$m$ -----> supplementary angles by consecutive interior angles

and remember that the sum of the interior angles in a trapezoid is equal to 360 degrees

$m$

step 1

Find the measure of angle D

$m$

substitute the measure of angle A

$125\°+m$

$m$

step 2

Find the measure of angle C

$m$

substitute the values

$125\°+99\°+m$

$m$
