1800 divided by 25 is 72. He types 72 words per minute.
Find the slope of the line connecting (1990,435000) and (2005,482300):
482300-435000 47300
m = ----------------------- = ---------------- = 3153/yr (approx)
2005 - 1990 15 yr
Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of this str. line:
y-435000 = (3153/yr)(x-1990)
The year 2020 is 30 years after 1990. Thus, the expected pop in 2020 is
given by y-435000 = 3153(30) = 94590, so that y = 529590.
Answer:
A. 76
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle A is half the difference between the measures of arc DE and BC.
m∠A = (1/2)(DE -BC)
20 = (1/2)(116 -BC) . . . . substitute the given values
40 = 116 -BC . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
BC = 116 -40 . . . . . . . . add BC -40
BC = 76

<em>Comment on intersecting secants</em>
When the secants intersect <em>inside</em> the circle, the angle where they cross is half the <em>sum</em> of the intercepted arcs. When they intersect <em>outside</em> the circle (as here), the angle where they meet is half the <em>difference</em> of the intercepted acs.
Sometimes it is easier to remember two related relationships than it is to remember just one of them.
