Answer:
m∠N = 51°
m∠M = 31°
m∠O = 98°
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that ΔMNO is an isosceles triangle with base NM.
m∠N = (4x + 7)° and m∠M = (2x + 29)°
By the property of an isosceles triangle,
Two legs of an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.
ON ≅ OM
And angles opposite to these equal sides measure the same.
m∠N = m∠M
(4x + 7) = (2x + 29)
4x - 2x = 29 - 7
2x = 22
x = 11
m∠N = (4x + 7)° = 51°
m∠M = (2x + 9)° = 31°
m∠O = 180° - (m∠N + m∠M)
= 180° - (51° + 31°)
= 180° - 82°
= 98°

Answer:
x=6 y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:
8x + 2y=30
7x + 2y=24
- Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
- Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:
42+2y=24 then
2y=-18 then
y=-9
- Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
