When this 3-digit number is rounded to the nearest hundred, it rounds to 200. Rounded to the nearest ten, this number rounds to

alisha [4.7K]

199, it rounds to 200 because it's closer to 200 than 100. It is also closer to 200 than to 190. And finally, 1 + 9 + 9 = 19

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°. The middle-sized angle measures 3° more than 2 times the smallest a

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

13° , 29° , 138°

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the smallest angle , then

2x + 3 is the middle angle and

2x + 3 + 109 is the largest angle

summing the 3 angles and equating to 180

x + 2x + 3 + 2x + 3 + 109 = 180 , that is

5x + 115 = 180 ( subtract 115 from 180 )

5x = 65 ( divide both sides by 5

x = 13

2x + 3 = 2(13) + 3 = 26 + 3 = 29

2x + 3 + 109 = 29 + 109 = 138

the 3 angles are 13° , 29° , 138°

Classify the following angle. 28. I WILL GIVE BRANLIEST!!!!!! RATE AND VOTE!!!!HELPP

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

reflex angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute is less than 90

Right = 90

Obtuse is greater than 90 and less than 180

Straight is 180

Reflex is greater than 180 and less than 360

This is greater than 90 and less than 180 so it is a reflex angle

Erica is a sheep farmer. She is having a problem with wolves attacking the flock. She starts with an initial 200 sheep and notic

Free_Kalibri [48]

The equation for the situation is $y=200(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

It will take around 9 years for her to have around 5 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay growth/decay equation is $y=a(b)^{x}$ , where

a is the initial value
b is the growth/decay factor
If b > 1, then it is a growth factor
If 0 < b < 1, then it is a decay factor

Erica is a sheep farmer. She is having a problem with wolves attacking the flock. She starts with an initial 200 sheep and notices that the population is two-thirds of the previous year

∵ The population is decreased

∴ The equation is decay

∵ The population is two-thirds of the previous year

∴ The decay factor is $\frac{2}{3}$

∵ She starts with an initial 200 sheep

∴ the initial value is 200

∵ The decay equation is $y=a(b)^{x}$ , where y represent the

population in x years

∵ a = 200

∵ b = $\frac{2}{3}$

∴ $y=200(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

The equation for the situation is $y=200(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

∵ The population after x years is around 5 sheep

- Substitute y by 5 to find x

∵ $5=200(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

- Divide both sides by 200

∴ $0.025=(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

- Insert ㏒ for both sides

∴ $log(0.025)=log(\frac{2}{3})^{x}$

∴ $log(0.025)=xlog(\frac{2}{3})$

- Divide both sides by $log(\frac{2}{3})$

∴ 9.098 = x

∴ x is around 9 years

It will take around 9 years for her to have around 5 sheep
