Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose we have a triangle WXY whose internal angles are:
The sum of the measures of the angles must be 180°, thus:
Simplifying:
15x + 15 = 180
Subtracting 15:
15x = 165
Dividing by 15:
x = 11
Thus, the measure of angle Y is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
81
=

4
and
27
=

, so this equation can also be written as
3

x
=
3

(
x
+

)
=
3
3
x
+
6
.
Since the bases are now the same, we can equate exponents to get
4
x
=
3
x
+
6
so that
x
=
6
(technically this equating of exponents requires the fact that exponential functions (with base not equal to 1) are one-to-one functions).
(do u understand?)
One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

Answer:
74.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- ∠G=90° => ΔEFG is a right triangle
- EF = 95 feet
- FG = 26 feet
Use sine law to find ∠F
As we know:
Sin(GEF)/ GF = Sin(EGF)/EF
<=> Sin(GEF) / 26 = Sin(90)/95
<=>Sin(GEF) / 26 = 1/95
<=> Sin(GEF) = 26/95
<=> ∠GEF ≈ 15.8°
=> ∠F = 180° - ∠G - ∠GEF
∠F = 180° - 90° - 15.8° = 74.4°
