Mary is thinking of a mystery number. She reduces it by 15% then subtracts 5. The result is 29. Determine the mystery number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mystery number.

Create an equation to represent the situation, then solve for x:

0.85x - 5 = 29

0.85x = 34

x = 40

So, the mystery number is 40.

Find the measure of each angle in Triangle ABC

Answers

Answer:

m<A = 133 degrees

m<B = 17 degrees

m<C = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, all the angles add up to 180 degrees.

So, adding all the angles gets us,

39x + 24

This equals 180 degrees so,

39x + 24 = 180

Subtract 24 from both sides,

39x + 24 - 24 = 180 - 24

39x = 156

Divide both sides by 39

x = 4

Now we have x = 4, we use this to plug in each equation of the angles.

m<A = 40(4) - 27 = 160 - 27 = 133

m<B = 25 - 2(4) = 25 - 8 = 17

m<C = 26 + 4 = 30

If each interior angle of a regular polygon measures 160°, how many sides does it have?

Answers

Answer:

  18

Step-by-step explanation:

Each exterior angle is the supplement of the adjacent interior angle, so is ...

  180° -160° = 20°

The total of all n of these exterior angles is 360°, so we have ...

  n(20°) = 360°

  n = 18 . . . . . . . . . divide by 20°

The polygon is an 18-gon. It has 18 sides.

Answer:

18 Sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Each interior angle = 160°

Each exterior angle = 180° - 160° = 20°

The sum of the exterior angles = 360°

Hence the number of exterior angles =360°/20°

= 18

The polygon has 18 sides (since it has 18 exterior angles).

The heights of North American women are nor-mally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviation of 2 inches. a. b. c. What is the probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches

Answers

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) of distribution = 64 inches

Standard deviation (sd) of distribution = 2 inches

Probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches

For a normal distribution :

Z - score = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Where x = 66

P(X > 66) = P( Z > (66 - 64) / 2)

P(X > 66) = P(Z > (2 /2)

P(X > 66) = P(Z > 1)

P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z ≤ 1)

P(Z ≤ 1) = 0.8413 ( from z distribution table)

1 - P(Z ≤ 1) = 1 - 0.8413

= 0.1587

Answers

*Complete Question:

Given the diagram below, where and mDE = 105^ and mGE = 125^ Find m<DEG

Answer:

m<DEG = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle DEG is an inscribed angle that intercepts the DG. Based on the theorem of inscribed angles, angle DEG = ½ of the measure of arc DG.

To find the measure of angle DEG, find the measure of arc DG first.

Measure of arc DG = 360° - (105° + 125°) => a full circle measures 369°

Arc DG = 360° - 230 = 130°.

m<DEG = ½ of 130° = ½*130° = 65°

In rectangle ABCD, point E lies half way between sides AB and CD and halfway between sides AD and BC. If AB=10 and BC=2, what is the area of the shaded region? Answer as a decimal, if necessary. Little confused on this one.

Answers

Answer:

10 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the unshaded region to consists of 2 triangles, ∆AED and ∆BEC, which are both of equal dimensions. Their bases and heights are both the same. Both triangles are embedded inside a rectangle ABCD.

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - area of the 2 triangles.

Area of rectangle = l*w

l = 10

w = 2

[tex] Area_R = 10*2 = 20 units^2 [/tex]

Area of the 2 triangles = 2(½*b*h)

b = 2

h = 5

[tex]Area_T = 2(\frac{1}{2}*2*5)[/tex]

[tex] Area_T = 1*2*5 = 10 units^2 [/tex]

Area of shaded region = 20 - 10 = 10 units²

m∠AOD = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram attached,

OA⊥OC and OB⊥OD

m∠AOD = 3.5(m∠BOC)

Since, m∠BOD = 90°  [Given: OA⊥OC]

m∠BOC + m∠COD = 90° ---------(1)

Similarly, m∠AOC = 90° [Given : OA⊥OC]

m∠AOB + m∠BOC = 90° --------(2)

Equation (1) - Equation(2)

(m∠BOC + m∠COD) - (m∠AOB + m∠BOC) = 90°- 90°

m∠COD = m∠AOB

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD --------(3)

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠AOB = 3.5(m∠BOC) [Since m∠COD = m∠AOB]

2m∠AOB = 3.5(m∠BOC) - m∠BOC

2m∠AOB = 2.5(m∠BOC)

m∠AOB = 1.25(m∠BOC)

From equation (2),

m∠AOB + m∠BOC = 90°

1.25(m∠BOC) + m∠BOC = 90°

2.25(m∠BOC) = 90°

m∠BOC = 40°

From equation (1),

m∠BOC + m∠COD = 90°

m∠COD + 40° = 90°

m∠COD = 50°

Now by putting these values in equation (3)

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD

m∠COD + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD

50° + 40° + 50°= m∠AOD

m∠AOD = 140°
