Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of numbers in all rows, columns and diagonals have to be the same.

Notice the diagonals do not have an x so let's sum those numbers to see what the sum for all must be.

-2+(1/2) +3 = (-4+1+6)/2 = 3/2

-5+(1/2)+6 = (-10+1+12)/2 = 3/2

Now we can pick the first row and sum the numbers up knowing that the result should be 3/2, will find x

-2+x-3+6 = 3/2, combine like terms

         x+1 = 3/2 , subtract 1 from both sides

            x = (3/2)-1, find common denominator and subtract

            x = (3-2)/2, combine like terms

            x = 1/2

Check or work:

Rows from top to down

-2 +(1/2) -3 +6 = (-4+1-6+12)/2 = 3/2✅

17*(1/2) +(1/2) +(1/2)-8 = (17+1+1-16)/2 = 3/2✅

-5+(9/2) -2(1/2) +3 = (-10+9-2+6)/2 = 3/2✅

Columns from left to right

-2+17(1/2)-5 = (-4+17-10)/2 =3/2✅

(1/2)-3+(1/2)+(9/2)-2(1/2) = (1-6+1+9-2)/2 = 3/2✅

6+(1/2)-8+3 = (12+1-16+6)/2 = 3/2✅

Diagonals

-2+(1/2) +3 = (-4+1+6)/2 = 3/2✅

-5+(1/2)+6 = (-10+1+12)/2 = 3/2✅

The regular nonagon has rotational symmetry of which angle measures? Check all that apply.
11111nata11111 [884]
Consider the center of the nonagon. If we join the center to all the vertices, the central angle of 360°, is divided into 9 equal angles, each with a measure of:

360°/9=40°

So to a nonagon rotated 40°, clockwise or counterclockwise, is indistinguishable from the original one. 

similarly if we rotate 80 ° c.wise or c.c.wise 

in general, a nonagon has a rotational symmetry of 40°n,

where n∈{...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}...

where 40°n, for n negative, means we are rotating clockwise.


Answer: any angle which is a multiple of 40°

An exterior angle of a triangle is 140 degrees. If the non-adjacent angles are congruent, then what are the measures of all of t
trasher [3.6K]

The measures of all of the interior angles of the triangle are 70 degrees, 70 degrees and 40 degrees

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that exterior angle of triangle is 140 degrees

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles

Given that adjacent angles are congruent

Let one of the non adjacent interior angles be "x"

x + x = 140

2x = 140

x = 70

So the two interior angles are 70 degrees and 70 degrees

Let us find the third interior angle

The angle sum property of a triangle states that the interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees

70 + 70 + third angle = 180

third angle = 180 - 70 - 70

third angle = 180 - 140

third angle = 40 degrees

Thus the measures of all of the interior angles of the triangle are 70 degrees, 70 degrees and 40 degrees

What is the slope of the line shown below?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

slope: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the equation y2 - y1 /x2 - x1 to solve this

(-6,3) (12,6)

6 - 3 = 3

12 - - 6 = 12 + 6 = 18

3/18 = 1/6

I hope this helped you ;)
