Angle A = 130° and Angle B = 110°

Solution:

Given ABCD is a trapezoid with ∠C = 70° and ∠D = 50°

If ABCD is a trapezoid, then AB is parallel to CD.

AD is a transversal to AB and CD and

BC is a tranversal to AB ad CD.

Sum of the interior angles on the same side are supplementary.

∠A + ∠D = 180°

⇒ ∠A + 50° = 180°

Subtract 50° on both sides to equal the expression.

⇒ ∠A = 180° – 50°

⇒ ∠A = 130°

Similary, ∠B + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠B + 70° = 180°

Subtract 50° on both sides to equal the expression.

⇒ ∠B = 180° – 70°

⇒ ∠B = 110°

Hence, angle A = 130° and angle B = 110°.

If 2x + 5 = 8x, then 12x = ?A.5B.10C.15D.20

<h2>Answer:</h2> $10.\text{ Option B is correct}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given the equation expressed as:

$2x+5=8x$

First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.

Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:

$\begin{gathered} 2x+5-5=8x-5 \\ 2x+\cancel{5}-\cancel{5}=8x-5 \\ 2x=8x-5 \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides

$\begin{gathered} 2x-8x=8x-8x-5 \\ -6x=\cancel{8x}-\cancel{8x}-5 \\ -6x=-5 \end{gathered}$

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-5}{-6} \\ x=\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}$

Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:

$\begin{gathered} 12x=12(\frac{5}{6}) \\ 12x=\cancel{12}^2(\frac{5}{\cancel{6}^1}) \\ 12x=2\times5 \\ 12x=10 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the value of 12x is 10

How much would $200 invested at 7% interest compounded annually be worth after 5 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent. D

viktelen [127]

The future worth (F) of the investment at present (P) with a compound interest i after n years is calculated through the equation,
F = P x (1 + i)^n
Substituting the known values,
F = ($200) x (1 + 0.07)^5 = $280.51
Thus, the future worth of the investment is approximately $280.51.

Please help. Thank you!

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the length of the side must be greater than 1 ft because the sum of two side lengths must be greater than the length of the third side. The third side must be less than 7 ft but greater than 1 ft.

Triangle inequality: 1 < x < 7

Hope that helped!
