Answer:

The measure of ∠A = 107.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

ABCD is a kite such that

AB = BC and AD = DC

Join A and C

Since AB = BC

→ ∠BAC = ∠BCA

Since , the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

Let ∠BAC = ∠BCA = x°

and

Since AD = DC

→ ∠CAD = ∠ACD

Since , the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

Let ∠CAD = ∠ACD = y°

Now

In ∆ ADC ,

∠ADC + ∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°

Since , the sum of the all angles in a triangle is 180°

⇛ 30° + y°+ y° = 180°

⇛ 30°+2y° = 180°

⇛ 2y° = 180°-30°

⇛ 2y° = 150°

⇛ y° = 150°/2

⇛ y° = 75°

Therefore, ∠CAD = ∠ACD = 75°

and

In ∆ ABC,

∠ ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180°

Since , the sum of the all angles in a triangle is 180°

⇛ 115° + x° + x° = 180°

⇛ 115°+2x° = 180°

⇛ 2x° = 180°-115°

⇛ 2x° = 65°

⇛ x° = 65°/2

⇛ x° = 32.5°

Therefore, ∠BAC = ∠BCA = 32.5°

Now, ∠ A = ∠BAC + ∠CAD

⇛ ∠A = 32.5° + 75°

⇛ ∠A = 107.5°

Therefore, ∠A = 107.5°

Answer:-

) The measure of ∠ADC = 145°
) The measure of ∠A = 107.5°

A flagpole has a height of 10 yards. It will be supported by 3 cables, each of which is attached to the flagpole at a point 4 ya

Contact [7]

Pytagorean theorem

height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away

a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c

so
6=height
8=base

6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c

so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30

30 yards needed

Jax has a weekly math test. His scores on the last 5 tests are 78,92,86,94,95. What score does he need to have an average of 90

lara [203]

Answer:

x = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jax scores on the last 5 tests are 78,92,86,94,95.

We need to find the score he need to have an average of 90.

The formula for average of few number is given by :

Average = sum of observations/total no of observation

Let he score x in test 6. So,

$90=\dfrac{78+92+86+94+95+x}{6}\\\\90=\dfrac{445+x}{6}\\\\540=445+x\\\\x=95$

So, he must score 95 in the next test so that its average is 90.

A rectangular gate is made using 6 straight pieces of steel.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Total weight is 150 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need the weight of the diagonal

To get this, we shall use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

The diagonals stand for the hypotenuse

Thus, we have that;

d^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

d^2 = 25 + 144

d^2 = 169

d^2 = 13^2

d = 13

The 6 sides technically includes the whole rectangle sides, then the two diagonals

The total length here is;

2(5 + 12 + 13) = 60 meters

Steel weight is 2.5 kg per meter

Weight of 60 m will be ;

60 * 2.5 = 150 kg
