The image of the question is attached below.
Given:
m∠DAC = 20° and m∠BCA = 30°
m∠ABC = 90° and m∠CDA = 90°
To find:
The value of x and y.
Solution:
In right triangle ABC,
m∠BAC = x° + 20°
Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°
m∠BAC +m∠ABC + m∠BCA = 180°
x° + 20° + 90° + 30° = 180°
x° + 140° = 180°
Subtract 140° from both sides.
x° + 140° - 140° = 180° - 140°
x° = 40°
In right triangle ADC,
m∠ACD = y° + 30°
Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°
m∠ACD +m∠CDA + m∠DAC = 180°
y° + 30° + 90° + 20° = 180°
y° + 140° = 180°
Subtract 140° from both sides.
y° + 140° - 140° = 180° - 140°
y° = 40°
The value of x is 40 and y is 40.
You rearrange the equation getting x = 9 * 3 which equals 27. So x = 27
Or just do 9*3 to get 27.
3/4 since (9 1/2 = length* width with makes the base) and divide it by 7 1/8.<span />
Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.
We convert the given information to equations, step by step.
Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.
This means y is 1 mile more than x.
So,
y = 1 + x
Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection.
Distance between is x+ y.
So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.
x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2
From point 1 we have:
y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3
So,
Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.
