First, let's establish a ratio between these two values. We'll use that as a starting point. I personally find it easiest to work with ratios as fractions, so we'll set that up:

\frac{24.8\ cm}{175\ years}

To find the distance <em>per year</em>, we'll need to find the <em>unit rate</em> of this ratio in terms of years. The word <em>unit</em> refers to the number 1 (coming from the Latin root <em>uni-</em> ); a <em>unit rate</em> involves bringing the number we're interested in down to 1 while preserving the ratio. Since we're looking for the distance the fault line moves every one year, we'll have to bring that 175 down to one, which we can do by dividing it by 175. To preserve our ratio, we also have to divide the top by 175:

\frac{24.8\ cm}{175\ years}\div  \frac{175}{175}  \approx  &#10;\frac{0.14\ cm}{1\ year}

We have our answer: approximately 0.14 cm or 1.4 mm per year

Answer:

  ∠A = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of angle A, you need to know the value of the variable x. This means you need some relation that you can solve to find x.

Happily, that relation is "the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°." This means ...

  84° +(x +59)° +(x +51)° = 180°

  (2x + 194)° = 180° . . . collect terms

  2x = -14 . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, and subtract 194

  x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

Now, the measure of angle A is ...

  ∠A = (x +51)° = (-7 +51)°

  ∠A = 44°
