I started by labeling the right angle (Angle C) 90º. Next, I wrote down everything in one equation.
2x + 90 + 3x - 20 = 180º (180 degrees in a triangle)
Next, I add 20 on both sides.
2x + 90 + 3x = 200º
I combine like terms (2x and 3x)
5x + 90 = 200º
I subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 110º
Divide 110 by 5 to get x.
x = 22
======
For problem two, I label all the angles I know.
49º + 80º + r = 180º
I add 80 and 49.
129º + r = 180º
I subtract 180 and 129 and get 51º, which is your angle for R.
For angle X, you know that angle R plus angle X equals half of a circle, which is 180º
We know from before that 129º is 180º without R, so X is 129º
I hope this helps! Let me know if I'm wrong!

Explanation:
Here, we want to get the percentage of the gross pay is the take-home pay
Mathematically, we have to divide the take-home pay by the gross pay and multiply it by 100%
Her take-home pay is the difference between her gross pay and her deductions
We have this as:
We have this as:
325 meters if using full height of 324 meters for tower
277 meters if using observation platform height of 276 meters.
When the depression is 37 degrees, you can create a right triangle with the angles 90, 37, and 53 degrees. The distance from a point directly underneath the observer will be:
h/tan(37)
where
h = height of the observer.
And when the depression is 72 degrees, the distance will be:
h/tan(72)
So the distance between the two points will be the absolute value of:
h/tan(72) - h/tan(37)
=(tan(37)h)/tan(37)tan(72) - tan(72)h/(tan(37)tan(72))
=(tan(37)h - tan(72)h) /(tan(37)tan(72))
=h(0.75355405 - 3.077683537)/(0.75355405 * 3.077683537)
=h(0.75355405 - 3.077683537)/(0.75355405 * 3.077683537)
=h(-2.324129487/2.319200894)
=h*-1.002125125
And since we're looking for absolute value
=h*1.002125125
As for the value of "h" to use, that's unspecified in the problem. If you take h
to be the height of the Eiffel Tower, then it's 324 meters. If you take h to be
the highest observation platform on the Eiffel Tower, then it's 276 meters. In
any case, simply multiply h by the value calculated above:
=h*1.002125125
=324*1.002125125
= 324.6885406 m
=h*1.002125125
=276*1.002125125
=276.5865346
Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area
======================================================
Explanation:
Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.
Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.
Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.
In other words,
new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)
So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
Set up a system of equations.
l=4w
2l+2w=110
Substitute l in to the second equation.
2(4w)+2w=110
8w+2w=110
10w=110
w=11
Substitute w back into the first equation.
l=4(11)=44
So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 11 feet.
Hope this helped!
