Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle markings at the bottom of the triangle mean they are congruent. Since they are the only two congruent to each other, that means this triangle is an isosceles triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, not only are the bottom angles congruent, their opposing sides are congruent as well. In this instance, that means 9x - 8 = 28. Knowing that we can solve for x.

$9x-8=28\\\\9x-8+8=28+8\\\\9x=36\\\\\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{36}{9}\\\\x=4$

HELP DUE IN 10 MINS!

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$\checkmark \text{B. The area of the circle is } 729\pi,\\\checkmark \text{D. The arc length of the sector is } 12\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle with radius $r$ : $r^2\pi$

Circumference of a sector with radius $r$ : $2r\pi$

Area of sector with angle $\theta$ : $r^2\pi\cdot \frac{\theta}{360}$ .

Arc length of sector with angle $\theta$ : $2r\pi\cdot \frac{\theta}{360}$

Using these equations, we get the following information:

Area of circle: $27^2\pi=729\pi$

Circumference of a circle: $2\cdot 27\cdot \pi=54\pi$

Area of sector: $27^2\pi\cdot \frac{80}{360}=162\pi$

Arc length of sector: $2\cdot 27\cdot \pi \cdot \frac{80}{360}=12\pi$

Sara can type 90 words in 4 minutes.About how many words would you expect her to type in 10 minutes?

Alexus [3.1K]

90 words in 4 minutes is the same as 45 words in 2 minutes because you divide both sides by 2. 2 goes into 10, 5 times, so 45x5=225.
You can expect her to type 225 words in 10 minutes.
