Answer:

<u>The smallest angle measures 13°, the largest angle measures 91° and the third angle measures 76°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°, therefore we have:

Smallest angle = x

Largest angle = 7x

Third angle = 7x - 15

Now, we can solve for x, using the following equation:

x + 7x + 7x - 15 = 180

15x = 180 + 15

15x = 195

x = 195/15

x = 13 ⇒ 7x = 91 ⇒ 7x - 15 = 76

<u>The smallest angle measures 13°, the largest angle measures 91° and the third angle measures 76°</u>

N(17+x)=34x−r<br> I need to solve for x

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The value of x is, $x= \frac{17N+r}{34-N}$

Explanation:

Given: $N(17+x)=34x-r$

Distributive Property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately.

If $a\cdot(b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

Now, using distributive property on left hand side of the given expression as:

$N\cdot 17+N\cdot x = 34x-r$ or $17N+Nx = 34x-r$

Addition Property of equality state that we add the same number from both sides of an equation.

Add r to both sides of an equation:

$17N+Nx+r=34x-r+r$

Simplify:

$17N+Nx+r=34x$

Subtraction Property of equality state that we subtract the same number from both sides of an equation.

Subtract Nx from both sides of an equation;

$17N+Nx+r-Nx=34x-Nx$

Simplify:

$17N+r=34x-Nx$

or

$17N+r=x(34-N)$

Division Property of equality states that we divide the same number from both sides of an equation.

Divide by (34-N) to both sides of an equation;

$\frac{17N+r}{34-N}= \frac{x(34-N)}{34-N}$

On Simplify:

$x= \frac{17N+r}{34-N}$

Given that tangent theta = negative 1, what is the value of secant theta, for StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFraction less-than th

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by noticing that the angle $\theta$ is on the 4th quadrant (between $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $2\pi$ . Recall then that in this quadrant the functions tangent and cosine are positive, while the function sine is negative in value. This is important to remember given the fact that tangent of an angle is defined as the quotient of the sine function at that angle divided by the cosine of the same angle:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

Now, let's use the information that the tangent of the angle in question equals "-1", and understand what that angle could be:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-1=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-cos(\theta)=sin(\theta)$

The particular special angle that satisfies this (the magnitude of sine and cosine the same) in the 4th quadrant, is the angle $\frac{7\pi}{4}$

which renders for the cosine function the value $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ .

Now, since we are asked to find the value of the secant of this angle, we need to remember the expression for the secant function in terms of other trig functions: $sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}$

Therefore the value of the secant of this angle would be the reciprocal of the cosine of the angle, that is: $sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}$

A pair of boots marked for $25 was sold at $15. What was the

patriot [66]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price: $25

Discounted price: $15

Amount of discount: $25 - $15 = $10

The boots sold for $10 less than the original price.

To find the percent discount, we need to find what percent of $25 is $10.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = 10/25 * 100%

percent = 0.4 * 100%

percent = 40%
