Whenever there is no exponent on a variable,

you can give it an exponent of 1.

So we can rewrite the x's in this problem as x¹.

When we multiply two terms together

with like bases, we add their exponents.

So now just add their exponents to get x².

Use the Angle Addition Postulate to find the measure of each angle.

Simora [160]

For number 15 and 16, you just have to find the absolute difference between the two points along the calibration of the protractor.

15. ∠BXC = |B - C| = |140° - 110°| = 30°
16. ∠BXE = |B - E| = |140° - 30°| = 110°

For numbers 20 and 21, apply the Angle Addition Postulate. This is when you add the individual interior angles to equate to the total angle.

20. ∠PQS = ∠PQR + ∠RQS
112° = 72°+ 10x°
x = 4

21. ∠KLM = ∠KLN + ∠NLM
135° = 47°+ 16y°
y = 5.5

Answer:

40.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how many 100 pounds are in the 340 lbs shark.

340/100=3.4

The sharks are fed 12 lbs of fish for every 100 pounds of shark.

There are 3.4 hundred pounds in this shark.

3.4*12=40.8; 40.8 lbs
