<h3>Answer: x = -9</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

I've added the points A,B,C,D,E, and F to help set up the angles.

I've marked angle 2 as the variable y, which is angle DBA. I've also added in the variable w to help fill out triangle DBA. Those two remaining angles are congruent due to the congruent sides AB = DB. They are the base angles. Triangle DBA is isosceles.

Right next to angle DAB is angle CAB. These two angles combine to form the 90 degree angle. So that's where the 90-w comes from when setting up angle CAB. We have another isosceles triangle, so angles CAB and ACB are congruent.

Next, we can see that angles ACB and ECF are vertical angles. That makes them congruent and we can solve for w like so:

angle ACB = angle ECF

90 - w = 38

-w = 38-90

-w = -52

w = 52

---------------------

Now focus on triangle DBA again. The three angles add to 180, so,

w+y+w = 180

2w+y = 180

y = 180-2w

y = 180-2*52

y = 180-104

y = 76

This is the measure of angle 2. We have one more step left.

--------------------

Since we now know the measure of angle 2, we can use this to find x

angle 2 = 76 degrees

angle 2 = x+85

x+85 = 76

x = 76 - 85

x = -9

Answer:

x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solution 1</h3>

The both triangles are marked as isosceles.

The bottom triangle

<u>Missing angles are same:</u>

1/2(180 - x - 85) = 1/2(95 - x)

The top triangle

The equal angles measure 38° as one of them is vertically opposite to 38° angle.

On the other hand same angle is complementary with the one we found above (together forming a right angle).

1/2(95 - x) + 38 = 90
1/2(95 - x) = 52
95 - x = 104
x = 95 - 104
x = - 9

<h3>Solution 2</h3>

The angle 2 is the exterior angle of the top triangle.

The non-adjacent interior angles are equal to each other and same as vertical angle of the top vertex, 38°.

m∠2 = 2*38° = 76°

m∠2 = x + 85

<u>Compare and solve for x:</u>

x + 85 = 76
x = 76 - 85
x = -9

For every 45 vehicles up past 15 are many vans so how many minivans would pass if there were 60 vehicles

Colt1911 [192]

The case is about proportional relatioship so to slove it you have to do this.
45(V) ?
____ x ____
60(V) 15

45*15=675
60*?=60
675 DIVIDE BY 60=11.25
so the answer is 11.25
hope it help you
thank you

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

Whajsoska help pls omgggggg

noname [10]

Answer:

I can answer the first one the other 2 I can't make out.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

1) They are the same since they add one to the row every time

2) They are different because Megan's pattern is that they only count the first column in orange, and Kyle's pattern counts the number of blocks in each row.

3) They have the same number of blocks just in different colors in rows and columns.
