Answer:

x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

Given: A rhombus inside a regular hexagon, work out the angle x.

As shown

ABCDEF is a regular hexagon.

The regular hexagon have 6 congruent angles, and the sum of the interior angles is 720°

So, the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

So, ∠F = ∠BAF = 120°

AFEG is a rhombus.

The rhombus have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.

∠F is one of the obtuse angles of the rhombus = 120°

∠F and ∠FA G are supplementary angles

So, ∠F + ∠FA G = 180°

∴ ∠FA G = 180° - ∠F = 180 - 120 = 60°

∴ x = ∠GAB = ∠BAF - ∠FA G = 120 - 60 = 60°

So, the measure of the angle x = 60°

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground. T

Nina [5.8K]

Given:
12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.
The tree meets the ground at a right angle.

When you visualize the scenario, the 12 foot wire would be the measure of the hypotenuse and the 10 feet off the ground will be the short leg or opposite. The long leg or adjacent is unknown.

We need to solve for sine theta because the value of hypotenuse and opposite is given.

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
sin θ = 10 feet / 12 feet
sin θ = 0.833
θ = 0.83 / sin
θ = 56°

The wire would meet the ground at approximately 56° angle.

Which statements are true about the graph of y < Two-thirdsx + 1? Check all that apply. The slope of the line is 1. The line

Marina CMI [18]

The answer would be:

The x-intercept of the boundary line is (-3/2, 0).

The area below the line is shaded.

The slope of the line should be 2/3. The area below the line shaded because the function using y<.....

Coordinate 2,3 doesn't fulfill the function.

y < 2/3x + 1

3 < 2/3(2)+1

3< 4/3+1

3< 2.3 ---->false

X intercept is when the y variable is zero. If you put it to the equation

y = 2/3x + 1

0= 2/3x+1

2/3x= -1

x= -3/2

In the equation below, a and b are constants. If a = b, what is the value of x in terms of y ? 2xa=8yb Select one:

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: $x=4y$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $2xa=8yb$ .

To find the value of the variable "x" in terms of "y", you need to apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by "2a". Then:

$\frac{2ax}{2a}=\frac{8yb}{2a}$

$x=\frac{8yb}{2a}$

You know that the costants "a" and "b" are equal ( $a=b$ ), then:

$\frac{b}{a}=1$

Knowingt this, you can simplify.

Therefore, you get that the value of "x" in terms of "y" is:

$x=4y$
