Answer: x = 133 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Well this problem becomes a lot easier when you break it down into steps and understand parallel lines and the angles that are formed from them. We are trying to work out what x would be so the first step would be to find an easy way to accomplish this. If you know the different types of angles that are formed from parallel lines we would know that corresponding angles are = to each other. This means that the 47 degree angle is the same as the angle directly above this, which I hope you too can visualize in the image as well. Since this new 47 degree angle that we figured out is right next to the angle we want to find out the value for the next step is quite simple. Since we of course know that a straight line is 180 degrees we just need to subtract 47 from 180 to find this x value as it would be whatever forms a straight line. 180-47=133 so the answer is x = 133 degrees. I hope this has helped you and please do no hesitate to ask further follow up questions! Have a wonderful rest of your day :)

A triangle is graphed in the coordinate plane. The vertices of the triangle have coordinates (–3, 1), (1, 1), and (1, –2). What

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle is $12\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$A(-3,1),B(1,1),C(1,-2)$

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

$P=AB+BC+AC$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the distance AB

$A(-3,1),B(1,1)$

substitute in the formula

$AB=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(1+3)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$AB=4\ units$

step 2

Find the distance BC

$B(1,1),C(1,-2)$

substitute in the formula

$BC=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}$

$BC=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$BC=3\ units$

step 3

Find the distance AC

$A(-3,1),C(1,-2)$

substitute in the formula

$AC=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(1+3)^{2}}$

$AC=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$AC=5\ units$

step 4

Find the perimeter

$P=AB+BC+AC$

substitute the values

$P=4+3+5=12\ units$

Your English teacher has decided to randomly assign poems for the class to read. The syllabus includes four poems by Shakespeare

Tresset [83]

The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.

So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.

At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39

The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.

Jenny bought scrapbooking supplies for $156.50. She paid $10.17 in sales tax. What was the sales tax rate on the supplies? If ne

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

156.50 x sales tax rate = 10.17

sales tax rate = 10.17/156.50

sales tax rate = .065 or 6.5%
