Answer:

a = 36°

b = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Method 1</u></h3>

Number of sides = n = 10

Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°

                                     = (10 - 2) × 180°

                                     = 8 × 180°

                                     = 1440°

Interior angle = b = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides

                          b = 1440 ÷ 10

                          b = 144°

              a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)

         a + 144° = 180°

a + 144° - 144° = 180° - 144°

                    a = 36°

<h3><u>Method 2</u></h3>

Number of sides = 10

Exterior angle = a = 360° ÷ Number of sides

                           a = 360° ÷ 10

                           a = 36°

            a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)

        36° + b = 180°

36° + b - 36° = 180° - 36°

                 b = 144°

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   y = -5x + 32          point-slope form

                                                      5x + y - 32 = 0      general form

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

(8, -8)

⊥ x - 5y - 6 = 0

Process

1.- Get the slope of the line given

   x - 5y - 6 = 0

   -5y = -x + 6

      y = -x/-5 + 6/-5

      y = x/5 - 6/5

slope = 1/5

slope of the new line -5, because the lines are perpendicular

2.- Get the equation of the new line

          y - y1 = m(x - x1)

          y + 8 = -5(x - 8)

          y + 8 = -5x + 40

          y = -5x + 40 - 8

         y = -5x + 32          point-slope form

Equal to zero to find the general form

         5x + y - 32 = 0      general form

Elvis and $74 .50 a month.. how much does he earn to the nearest one penny.
sdas [7]

Answer:

Part A

12 months a year means

%74.5 x 12 = $894

Part B

4 weeks in a month means

$74.5 ÷ 4 = $18.625

But rounded to the nearest penny. . .

$18.62

because in the thousandths place was a 5 and you round up when there is a 5 or above

Part C

We will go with 31 days in a month, but I will also do 30 for you

$74.5 ÷ 30 = $2.48333

But rounded to the nearest penny. . .

$2.48

because you round down when there is anything less than a 4

$74.5 ÷ 31 = $2.40322580645

But rounded to the nearest penny. . .

$2.40

because you round down when there is anything less than a 4

Which number line shows the solution to the inequality 8x – 9 &lt; –41?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the inequality, you want to simplify it to get x on one side, and the numeric values on the other.

So, moving 9 to the other side, you get, 8x<-32

Then, you can divide by 8 on both sides to get x alone.

You get, x<-4.

From this, we can see that it should be an open dot at -4, and pointing to the left.

So, the correct number line is A.

To find the coordinates of point L, the midpoint of JK, the equation M = can be used. What are the coordinates of point L? L(1,
anygoal [31]
Since we are already given with the formula to solve for the coordinates of point L, all we have to do is to perform the necessary operation in the item. The formula for the coordinates of the midpoint is,                    M = ((5 + 1) / 2 , (3 - 7) / 2)performing the operation,                   M = (3, -2)Thus, the coordinates of point L are (3,-2).
