By definition, two angles are supplementary if the sum of them is 180 degrees. In this case (see figure attached with the answer) the line AD is transversal to lines AB and DC. This is a proof of the Same-side interior angle theorem.
This theorem states that if we have two lines that are parallel and we intercept those two lines with a line that is transversal to both, same-side interior angles are formed, and also sum 180º, in other words, they are supplementary angles.
Then:
By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are <em><u>same-side interior angles</u></em>. Because AB and DC are <em><u>parallel</u></em>, the same-side interior angles must be <em><u>supplementary</u></em> by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.
Answer:
a = 2, b = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = ax² + bx
is the measure of the slope at x = a
Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule
(a
) = na
= 2ax + b, hence
2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)
Substitute x = 2 into
4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y
4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)
Subtract ( 1) from (2)
b = - 2 - 3 = - 5
Substitute b = - 5 into (1)
4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )
4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
a = 2
Start with 180.
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>
<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>
<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>
<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>
<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>
<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
You would find the answer by dividing 3 1/3 from 18 1/3.
55/3 / 10/3
(55/3)(3/10)=55/10=5 1/2
Answer: 5 1/2
