Angle Q is supplementary to angle P (42°), so is 138°.
Veronika [31]3 years ago

Given, in the figure PR and PS are two tangents. They meet at P. Here angle P given. ∠P = 42°.

If we take a straight line PQ, it will create two triangles.

We can see here angle R and angle S both are right angles.

As here two triangles, so sum of all the angles of the triangles is 180^o + 180^o = 360^o

Now if we subtract the two right angles we will get,

360^o-90^o-90^o = 360^o-180^o = 180^o

That means ∠P+∠Q = 180°

If we substitute the value of angle P we will get,

42^o+Q = 180^o

We can get angle Q by subtracting 42 to both sides. We will get,

42^o+Q-42^o = 180^o-42^o

Q = 180^o-42^o

Q = 138^o

So we have got angle Q, the measurement of ∠Q = 138°.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

x<2 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+4>-4x+8

subtract each term by 8

-2x+4-8>-4x+8-8

add both side by 2x

-2x+2x-4>-4x+2x

-4>-2x

dividing both term by -2

-2x/-2<-4/-2

x<2

The container hold 1/2 gallon of water. It is 3/4 full. How many gallons of water are in the container?
Olegator [25]

Based on the capacity of the container and the capacity currently being used, the amount of water in the container is <u>3/8 gallons. </u>

The container is capable of holding 1/2 gallons of water.

If it is holding 3/4 of that 1/2 gallons, the amount of water it would be holding is:

<em>= Capacity of container x Percentage full </em>

= 1/2 x 3/4

= 3/8 gallons of water

In conclusion, the container is currently holding 3/8 gallons of water.

2x-y=10 y=-4x+2 substitution method
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

the solution is (2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the second equation into the first, replacing y in the first:

2x - (-4x+2) = 10

Simplifying, we get:

2x + 4x - 2 = 10, or:

6x = 12, which yields x = 2.

Substituting 2 for x in the second equation yields y = -4(2) + 2 = 0, or y = -6

Then the solution is (2, -6).
