Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3. Such a line would be a vertical one. Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56). Thus, x must be 24: x = 24

Four rays meet at a common endpoint. In a complete sentence, describe the relevant angle relationships in the diagram. Set up an

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding all angles in this diagram sould get you 360. Because of this, we can use inverse operations to solve this. Subtract 90 and 60 from 360 to get 210. Now, the equation is 15x=210. Dividing both sides by 15 gets you 14. Hope this helps!

Pi is the ratio of what two measures of a circle?

WITCHER [35]

Pi (π) is the measure of a circle's diameter (and for that matter, radius) and it's circumference. It's an irrational number and therefore neither repeats nor terminates. The value is estimated (and accepted) to be 3.1415.
