Answer:
The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
- In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
- In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures
∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)
∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures
∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)
∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°
∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180
∴ 9x + 9 = 180
→ Subtract 9 from both sides
∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9
∴ 9x = 171
→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x
∴ x = 19
→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°
∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees
To find the answer, we can first find the age of Rolando in four year:
17+4
=21
We can then proceed to find the current age of Marisa,which is 3/2 of Rolando’s age calculated above:
Let Marisa’s age be y.
3/2 y =21
y = 21 × 2/3
y = 42/3
y = 14
Therefore Marisa is currently 14 years old.
In three years, Marisa would be:
14+3
=17
Therefore, she will be 17 years old.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of a triangle is 180°.
6x + 1 + 6x - 14 + 9x + 4 = 180°
Arrange the like terms together and simply this equation.
6x + 6x + 9x + 1 + 4 - 14 = 180°
21x - 9 = 180°
Shifting '-9' to the other side of the equation gives you '+9'
21x = 180° + 9
21x = 189
Shifting 21 to the other side of the equation (to get x) makes it ÷21 (multiply)
x = 189 ÷ 21
x = 9
Answer:
16 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Tom walks for 5 minutes longer than he rides. To figure out the answer, start by subtracting 5:
27 - 5 = 22
Now that you have done this, divide 22 by 2:
22/2 = 11
Now you know that he rode the bus for 11 minutes, and you can add five to the other 11 minutes to know how long he walked:
11 + 5 = 16.
