We see two parallel lines crossed by a transversal.
The two labelled angles are alternate interior angles, hence they are equal.
The equality allows us to equate the two expressions and hence solve for x.
8x-3=5x+42
transpose terms
8x-5x=42+3
solve for x
3x=45
so x=45/3=15.
This means 5x+42=5*15+42=75+42=117 degrees.
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:
5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]
To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:
5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9
Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
Answer:
O is the center of the circle with radius IE(=ID=EF)
Step-by-step explanation:
Join all 3 points D, E, F, forming the triangle DEF.
Let the midpoint of EF be M and the midpoint of ED be N. (first picture)
Join point I to E, D and F.
Since IN is both an altitude and median to triangle EID, then triangle EID is an isosceles triangle, and IE=ID
similarly, we see that IE=IF.
conclusion: IE=ID=EF.
