Answer:

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator by X

Denominator is three more than its numerator i.e X +3

When both the numerator and denominator are increased by one the fraction becomes 1/2

\frac{X + 1}{X+3+1} = \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{X+1}{X+4} = \frac{1}{2} \\2X + 2 = X+4\\X = 2

Thus, numerator = 2

Denominator = X +3 = 2+3 = 5

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

May you please help me figure out every angle?​
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<D = 82°

<E = 49°

<F = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because two of the sides are the same length which means the 2 bottom angles are the exact same which means we can set them equal to each other to solve for it.

What is the measure of angle of 1?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

m<1 = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

The remote angles theorem states that when one extends one of the sides of a triangle, the sum of the two non-adjacent angles is equal to the measure of the angle between the extension of the side and a side of a triangle. One can apply this theorem here by stating that

(28) + (90) = m<1

Remember, a box around an angle signifies that its measure is (90) degrees.

Solve this problem by performing the operation,

118 = m<1
