X = 180-130
X = 50

Why? Because x + 130 is on a straight line. And the angle of a straight line is 180.Therefore , take 130 subtracted by 180 to get ur ans!!
Hope this helps!! ^^

Answer:

x = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

130 and x are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180° , so

x + 130° = 180° ( subtract 130° from both sides )

x = 50°

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?

jenyasd209 [6]

The segment of length x bisects the chord of length 19.2.
The diameter is 24, so the radius is 12.
You have a right triangle with hypotenuse 12, and one leg 19.2/2 = 9.6

9.6^2 + x^2 = 12^2

92.16 + x^2 = 144

x^2 = 51.84

x = 7.2

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

sdas [7]

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!

What is the value of x in the diagram?

Verizon [17]

2 lines parallel, and 2 triangles have a common angle
So the smaller Δ is similar to the bigger Δ (AA Similarity)
9:(4x-2)+9=12:(3x+2)+12
9:4x+7=12:3x+14
9(3x+14)=12(4x+7)
27x+126=48x+84
21x=42
x=2
So the answer is x=2
