The measure of the exterior angle at vertex D is: D. 54°

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • The exterior angle theorem of a triangle states that the measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the measures of two opposite interior angles of the triangle.

<em><u>Thus:</u></em>

In ΔDEF, (8x−2)º is an exterior angle at vertex D.

m∠E = (3x−8)° (interior angle)

m∠F = (4x+13)° (interior angle)

<em>Therefore:</em>

(8x−2)º = (3x−8)° + (4x+13)°

  • Solve for x

8x - 2 = 3x - 8 + 4x + 13

  • Combine like terms

8x - 2 = 7x + 5

8x - 7x = 2 + 5

x = 7

Exterior angle at vertex D = (8x−2)º

  • Plug in the value of x

= 8(7) - 2

= 54º (option D)

This is a case of joint probability: you want to know what the odds are of this event AND that event occurring. For a joint probability, the formula is usually given as:

P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)

where P(A) is the probability of event A happening, P(B) is the probability of event B happening, and P(A and B) is the probability of both happening.

For this problem, let's say that event A is the probability that the spinner stops at the green color. Since the spinner has 3 colors and they have equal area (sector) occupied in the circle, each color has the same chance, 1/3 chance of being picked. Thus, there's a 1/3 chance of the spinner stopping at the green color so P(A)=1/3.

Event B is the probability of Jordan picking up the yellow card. There are six possible colors to pick and since Jordan picked up the card without peeking, each color has an equal chance to be picked. Thus, there's a 1/6 chance that the yellow card will be selected so P(B)=1/6.

Using the formula, we can then calculate P(A and B), the probability that the spinner stops at green and a yellow card is selected:

P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)=1/3*1/6=1/18
