Yep, this one seems sneaky and confusing. But it's not so bad if you remember the things you learned about parallel lines. (It can't be too tough ... I learned them
in 1954 and I still know how to use them.)
Look at the picture. Line ' l ' is parallel to line ' m ', and the horizontal line on the bottom (which is not labeled) is a transversal that cuts the parallel lines.
Did you learn that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are equal ?
I'm sure you did, although it may have a new name nowadays.
Anyway, with the help of that 'tool', angle-'B' and angle-'D' are equal. So . . .
(angle-A + angle-B) = 120
angle-B = 65
angle-A = 120 - 65 = <u>55 degrees</u>.
G=m/x
G-gallons
m-miles
x-miles per gallon
19.2= 1293.6/x
x=1293.6/19.2
x= 67.375mpg
Therefore, the vehicle traveled 67.375 miles to 1 gallon
Answer:
55 and 55 or 70 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has 180o and an isosceles triangle has two angles that are the same. As 70 is less than half, we have a couple of possible solutions to this. So one possible solution is 70-55-55. So the other possible solution is 70-70-40.
