To start off with, the probability to draw the short straw is 1/9 and each time someone picks the long straw the denominator (the 9) decreases by one which means that the odds of someone picking it get higher.

Answer: C) 163

Step-by-Step Solution:

In the Right Triangle formed to the extreme right, lets mark the angles as
∠1, ∠2 and ∠3.

Therefore, from the Figure :-

∠1 = 73°
∠2 = 90°

By Angle Sum Property :-

∠3 = 180 - (73 + 90)
∠3 = 180 - 163
=> ∠3 = 17°

The Angle which forms a Linear Pair with ∠3 is the Corresponding Angle of ∠r, and Corresponding Angles are Equal.

Therefore,
=> 180 - ∠3
= 180 - 17
=> 163°

Therefore, the Angle that forms the Linear Pair with ∠3 is 163°

This Angle is Corresponding to ∠r and hence they are Equal ie. ∠r = 163°

Hence, ∠r = 163°

Please Help!!! I am totally lost!<br><br> Solve for x and find mangleABC.
kupik [55]
When something bisects an angle, it cuts that angle in half. This means that ray BD cuts angle ABC in half. Therefore, angle ABD, which is formed by cutting the angle in half, is equal to angle CBD, which is also formed by cutting the angle in half. Because of this, you have to set the equation equal to each other.

9x-18=5x+2

Combine like terms. Add 18 to both sides.

9x=5x+20

Combine like terms. Subtract 5x from both sides.

4x=20

Divide 4 on both sides.

x=5 degrees
