Answer:

∠B = 70 and ∠C = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is not loading for me but with isosceles triangles there will two angles that are the same and one different angle.

All the angles will add up to equal 180 degrees.

In this case the different angle would angle C as the two same lines meet at that point.

From this you can that angle A and B are the same, both 70, so angle C would be:

180 (all the angles of a triangle added together) - 70 - 70 = 40

I'm assuming that x and y are angles B and C as they are not stated so they would be: ∠B = 70 and ∠C = 40.

Here is a diagram to demonstrate this:

The average value of two positive numbers is 30% less than one of the two numbers. By which percentage is average value bigger t

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

75% bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second be y.

So:

$Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

And:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ -----30% less than x

Substitute $Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ in $Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 0.30) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70 * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70x$

Cross multiply

$x + y = 0.70x * 2$

$x + y = 1.40x$

Collect like terms

$1.40x - x = y$

$0.40x = y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{y}{0.40}$

$x = 2.50y$

So, the average is:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * 2.50y$

$Average =0.70 * 2.50y$

$Average =1.75y$

Rewrite as:

$Average =(1 + 0.75)y$

Express as percentage

$Average =(1 + 75\%)y$

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number

A 15° sector in a circle has an area of 11.9 m2. What is the area of the circle?

DaniilM [7]

<span>A 15° sector in a circle has an area of 11.9 m2. What is the area of the circle?
The area of the circle will be found as follows:
the fraction of the sector=15/360=1/24
the area of the circle will be:
area=(fraction of the circle)/(fraction of the sector)*(area of the sector)
=1/(1/24)</span>×11.9
=285.6 m²
