Find m∠STU and m∠TUA

Mathematics
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago

Answers:

  • angle STU = 65 degrees
  • angle TUA = 123 degrees

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the expression for angle TUS in terms of x

Angle TUA has the expression 11x+2. It will add to angle TUS to get 180 degrees

(angle TUS) + (angle TUA) = 180

angle TUS = 180 - (angle TUA)

angle TUS = 180 - (11x + 2)

angle TUS = 180 - 11x - 2

angle TUS = -11x + 178

Now focus on the interior angles of triangle TUS. We have these three angles

  • T = 5x+10
  • U = -11x+178
  • S = 58

For any triangle, the interior angles always add to 180, so,

T+U+S = 180

(5x+10) + (-11x+178) + (58) = 180

(5x-11x) + (10+178+58) = 180

-6x + 246 = 180

-6x = 180-246

-6x = -66

x = -66/(-6)

x = 11

Use this x value to find the angle measures we're after:

  • angle STU = 5x+10 = 5*11+10 = 55+10 = 65 degrees
  • angle TUA = 11x+2 = 11*11+2 = 121+2 = 123 degrees

--------------------------

As an alternative route, you can apply the remote interior angle theorem. This says that adding two interior angles leads to the exterior angle that isn't adjacent to either one.

In this case, we would say

(angle STU) + (angle TSU) = angle TUA

that leads to the equation

(5x+10) + (58) = 11x+2

Solving this should lead to x = 11 to generate the angles mentioned earlier.

What is sas congruence?
GarryVolchara [31]
The SAS congruence is basically:
S- side
A- angle
S - side

If two triangles have two congruent sides and share one angle (or have one angle in between), then it (the triangles) are considered congruent.

Solve for x. x/2+1= √3
podryga [215]
X=1.464102
Simplifies to: (1/2x)+1=1.732051

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/2x + 1 -1=1.732051-1
(1/2x)=0.732051

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2x) = (2) * (0.732051)
X=1.464102

Your mother saw a sale at the music store on tax-free weekend that advertised two CD’s for $15.95. Your mother said that you hav
Neko [114]

Answer:

20 CDs

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you can't buy 1 CD, you have to buy 2 CD's for 15.95, let's see how many 2CD-Batches we can buy with 60:

60/15.95 = 3.76 CD batches

We can't buy the fractional amount, so we have to buy "3" 2-CD-Batches.

Thus, we will have 3 * 2 = 6 CD's  now

Since we had 14 and now we buy 6, we will have

14 + 6 = 20 CDs now.

20 CDs
