Answer:

x= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles add to 90 degrees

x+2x+x+10 = 90

Combine like terms

4x+10 = 90

Subtract 10 from each side

4x +10-10 = 90-10

4x = 80

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 80/4

x = 20

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles are complementary to each other.

That means they add up to 90 degrees.

x + 2x + (x + 10) = 90

Combine like terms.

4x + 10 = 90

Subtract 10 on both sides.

4x = 80

Divide both sides by 4.

Circle O is shown. 2 tangents intersect at a point outside of the circle which is labeled Satellite. The angle formed is 20 degrees and the measure of the first arc formed is x. One tangent intersects the circle at a point labeled Earth. A satellite views the Earth at an angle of 20°. What is the arc measure, x, that the satellite can see? 40° 80° 160° 320°

Answers

Answer:

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see is 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two tangents intersect at a point outside the with circle center O

The angle formed between between the two tangent = 20°

The first arc formed is measured as x°, which is the arc opposite the point where the two tangents meet = The arc the satellite can see

The angle x is given by the relationship;

x = 2 × (90 - v/2)

Where;

v = The angle formed at the point where the two tangent meet = 20°

Therefore;

x = 2 × (90 - 20/2) =  2 × (90 - 10) =  2 × 80  = 160°

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see = 160°.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is how many degrees greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of any polygon = 180* (n- 2 )

Here, n= number of sides

Sum of interior angles of regular octagon = 180 * ( 8-2) = 180 * 6 = 1080°

In regular octagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular octagon = 1080/8 =  135°

Sum of interior angles of regular hexagon = 180 * ( 6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

In regular hexagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular hexagon = 720/6 =  120°

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is  greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon by 15°

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angle measures in a polygon with n sides is 180(n-2) degrees. So, the sum of the octagon's angles is 180(8-2) = 1080 degrees. The polygon is regular, so all the angles have the same measure, which means each is 1080/8 = 135. Similarly, the sum of the angles of a hexagon is 180(6-2) = 720 degrees, which means each angle in a regular hexagon has measure 720/6 = 120.

Therefore, the desired difference is 135 - 120 = 15

A cone has a volume of 24 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cyinder that the cone fits exactly inside of? (1 point)
Select one:
b. 24 in
c. 48 in
d. 72 in

Answers

Answer:

d. 72 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of  a cylinder that a cone of volume 24 cubic inches fits in exactly inside of, we will follow the steps below:

From the question volume of the cone = 24 cubic inches

volume of a cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] πr²h

and volume of a cylinder = πr²h

This implies

volume of a cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] πr²h

                            = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (volume of a cylinder)

volume of a cone =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (volume of a cylinder)

24  =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (volume of a cylinder)

multiply both-side of the equation by 3

24×3 =   [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (volume of a cylinder)

72  =volume of a cylinder

Therefore volume of the cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of is  72 cubic inches

You are having a small party and the Pizza driver drops
off 5 Pizza's. They are all cut into eighths. You also
have 3 slices left over in your fridge from the night
before. Write how much pizza you have as an
improper fraction(Remember that an improper
fraction has the numerator larger than the
denominator)

Answers

You have 43/8 pizza slices

Answer:

[tex]\frac{43}{8\\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 8 slices in each of the 5 boxes, we will multiply. 8 x 5 = 40

So there are 40 slices of pizza from the delivery. And because there are 3 extra slices from the night before in fridge, add those. 40 + 3 = 43.

8 will be the denominator because it is the common number of slices in a box of pizza, 43 will be the numerator to make the improper fraction.

So the amount of pizza as an improper fraction is [tex]\frac{43}{8\\}[/tex]

Answer:

1)  2/3 is 400% of 1/6

2) 0.2 is 12.5% of 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, let's switch these two fractions to a low common denominator. I used sixths, and got 4/6 and 1/6. then, noticing that 4/6 is 4x bigger than 1/6, and 100% means all of the 1/6, and 4/6 is 4x that, 4x 100% is 400%, that's the answer ;-)

2) First, let's convert these both to fractions, 1/5 and 1 3/5, which converts to 8/5. 8/5 is 8x as much as 1/5, which means that it is 12.5%

Answers

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Please present the equation symbolically instead of in words:

m = -1/2, passing through (4, -5):

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b, and using m = -1/2, x = 4 and y = -5, we get:

-5 = (-1/2)(4) + b, or -5 = -2 + b.  Then b = -3 and the desired equation is:

y = (-1/2)x - 3

y = -x/2 - 3 equation represents a line that has a slope of -1/2 and passes through point (4, –5)

What is the equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Given that a line has slope -1/2 and passes through point (4, -5)

The standard equation of a line is y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line.

Solving for c,

-5 = -1/2*4 + c

c = -3

Hence, y = -x/2 - 3 equation represents a line that has a slope of -1/2 and passes through point (4, –5)

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this you would just look at two points that the line will cross. The 2 pairs or coordinates that are the most obvious to me are (0,-2) and (1,0) so then we would do an equation that is [tex]y_{2}[/tex] (which is the second y in this case 0) minus [tex]y_{1}[/tex](First y in this case -2) over or / [tex]x_{2}[/tex](second x in this case 1) minus [tex]x_{1}[/tex](first x in this case 0) so when we plug in into the equation is is [tex]\frac{0-(-2)}{1-0}[/tex] which will be simplified to [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] so the slope would be 2.

Another simpler way to solve this is to is just to count the distance between the 2 slopes so we would go up 2 to get to 0 and over 1 which would be [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] or 2.

"An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 4.1 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 260 engines and the mean pressure was 4.2 pounds/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.9. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Determine the decision rule. Enter the decision rule." ?help..........thanks you for helping me 2.
