Answers:
- x = 11
- angle RQS = 106 degrees
- angle SQT = 74 degrees
===========================================================
Explanation:
Straight angles are always 180 degrees in measure.
The two smaller angles shown add up to 180
(angle RQS) + (angle SQT) = angle RQT
(9x+7) + (6x+8) = 180
(9x+6x) + (7+8) = 180
15x+15 = 180
15x = 180-15
15x = 165
x = 165/15
x = 11
From here, we then know that,
- angle RQS = 9x+7 = 9*11+7 = 99+7 = 106 degrees
- angle SQT = 6x+8 = 6*11+8 = 66+8 = 74 degrees
Note how the two results add to 106+74 = 180 to help confirm the answers.
Answer:
neither
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the first line: (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1) = (3-(-5)/-1 = 8/-1 = -8
Slope of the second line: (2-3)/4-(-4) = -1/8
They are neither parallel nor perpendicular. In fact the two lines have different slope so they can’t be parallel. In addition the product of their slope is not -1, so they can’t be perpendicular,
All you have to do is divide the left side of the ratio by 5 and the right side of the ratio by 7. The one that comes out even on both sides is the correct one.
Answer:
The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Black Diamond: ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h, where h is the number of hours spent skiing.
Bunny Hill: ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h
We equate these two formulas to determine when the cost of using the ski slopes is the same:
ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h = ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h
We must now solve for h, the number of hours spent skiing:
50 + 15h = 75 + 10h
Grouping like terms, we obtain:
5h = 25, and so h = 5 hours.
The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.
