Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Angle 1 measures (4x 28)°, and the angle adjacent to the alternate exterior angle w
1 answer:
∠1 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angle and ∠3 is adjacent to ∠2.
The value of x is 8.
Given
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
Angle 1 measures (4x+28)°, and the angle adjacent to the alternate exterior angle with angle 1 measures (14x + 8)°.
<h3>Adjacent angles;</h3>In geometry, two angles are adjacent if they have a common side and a common vertex.
∠1 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angle and ∠3 is adjacent to ∠2.
∠1 = (4x + 28)°
∠3 = (14x + 8)°
Then,
∠2 + ∠3 = 180° ( Linear pair)
∠2 + 14x + 8 = 180
∠2 = 180 - 14x -8
∠2 = 172 - 14x
Therefore,
The alternate exterior angles formed by the transversal between two parallel lines are equal in measure.
Hence, the value of x is 8.

I have an expression
floating around in my head; let's see if it makes sense.
The variance of binary valued random variable b that comes up 1 with probability p (so has mean p) is
That's for an individual sample. For the observed average we divide by n, and for the standard deviation we take the square root:
Plugging in the numbers,
One standard deviation of the average is almost 2% so a 27% outcome was 3/1.9 = 1.6 standard deviations from the mean, corresponding to a two sided probability of a bit bigger than 10% of happening by chance.
So this is borderline suspect; most surveys will include a two sigma margin of error, say plus or minus 4 percent here, and the results were within those bounds.
