By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem

A, is the answer because each input has one and only one output
Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of ∠BAF is 54°.
Solution:
DF and CE are intersecting lines.
m∠EAF = 72° and AB bisects ∠CAF.
∠EAF and ∠DAC are vertically opposite angles.
Vertical angle theorem:
<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>
∠DAC ≅ ∠EAF
m∠DAC = 72°
<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>
m∠DAE + m∠EAF = 180°
m∠DAE + 72° = 180°
Subtract 72° from both sides.
m∠DAE = 108°
∠CAF and ∠DAE are vertically opposite angles.
⇒ m∠CAF = m∠DAE
⇒ m∠CAF = 108°
AB bisects ∠CAF means ∠CAB = ∠BAF
m∠CAB + m∠BAF = 108°
m∠BAF + m∠BAF = 108°
2 m∠BAF = 108°
Divide by 2 on both sides, we get
m∠BAF = 54°
Hence the measure of ∠BAF is 54°.
