Answer:
a. Angle Y is a right angle.
b. The measure of angle Z is 45°.
e. The perpendicular bisector of creates two smaller isosceles triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the measures of base angles X and Z. Then 2x is the measure of vertex angle Y, and the sum of angles is ...
x + x + 2x = 180°
x = 45°
2x = m∠Y = 90°
so the triangle is an isosceles right triangle which has base angles of 45°.
The perpendicular bisector of XZ is the altitude of the triangle XYZ. It creates two smaller right triangles with acute angles of 45°. Hence, those, too, are isosceles right triangles.
Answer:
Colin can do this is 272 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first counter goes to Obi and the second to Zeema, so the order is important. This means that we use the permutations formula to solve this question.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

In this question:
Two counters from a set of 17. So

Colin can do this is 272 ways.
The answers would be 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.
