Answer:
m∠P = 82°
m∠Q = 49°
m∠R = 49°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>In the isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal in measures</em>
In Δ PQR
∵ PQ = PR
∴ Δ PQR is an isosceles triangle
∵ ∠Q and ∠R are the base angles
→ By using the fact above
∴ m∠Q = m∠R
∵ m∠Q = (3x + 25)°
∵ m∠R = (2x + 33)°
→ Equate them
∴ 3x + 25 = 2x + 33
→ Subtract 2x from both sides
∵ 3x - 2x + 25 = 2x - 2x + 33
∴ x + 25 = 33
→ Subtract 25 from both sides
∵ x + 25 - 25 = 33 - 25
∴ x = 8
→ Substitute the value of x in the measures of angles Q and R
∵ m∠Q = 3(8) + 25 = 24 + 25
∴ m∠Q = 49°
∵ m∠R = 2(8) + 33 = 16 + 33
∴ m∠R = 49°
∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°
∴ m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R = 180°
→ Substitute the measures of angles Q and R
∵ m∠P + 49 + 49 = 180
∴ m∠P + 98 = 180
→ Subtract 98 from both sides
∵ m∠P + 98 - 98 = 180 - 98
∴ m∠P = 82°
Lets take it in order:
1) 90 deg because the angle right next to it is a right angle
2) 128 deg becasue of the angle directly across from it
3) x = 180 - 128 = 52 deg
4) 180 = 90 + 52 + x so x = 180 - 90 - 52 = 38
5) 180 = 38 + x so x = 180 - 38 = 142
6) Same as 4
7) Same as 5
Check my math, as I just did it in my head
Answer:
A. -8
B. -8
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is 4.9 miles per day
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).
