Answer:
36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached figure.
Triangles ANC, AMB, BCN, CBM are all isosceles by virtue of the given congruences. By symmetry, we also claim that ΔABC is isosceles (AB≅AC).
We aren't sure how their internal angles relate, but we can write a couple of equations.
Let x = m∠BAC, y = m∠BCN.
∠NCA = ∠NAC = ∠MBA = ∠MAB = x
∠BCM = ∠BMC = x +y
∠BMC = ∠MBA +∠MAB = 2x
So, we have ...
∠BMC = x +y = 2x ⇒ y = x
And the sum of angles around ΔABC is ...
x +(2x) +(2x) = 180°
x = 180°/5 = 36°
The measure of angle BAC is 36°.
Answer:
1.875
Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change of g(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
here [a, b ] = [- 1, 3 ] , then
g(b) = g(3) = 2³ + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
g(a) = g(- 1) = + 1 =
+ 1 = 1.5
then
average rate of change = =
= 1.875
