Answer:

< CFE = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the solution, see attachment for the diagram.

Given:

BC parallel to DE

Measure of Arc BD = 58°

Measure of Arc DE = 142°

First step: Draw a diameter that passes through the centre of the circle and name it. In this case, the diameter is line ST.

The line ST divides the arc BD and arc DE into half.

That is:

Arc SC = 1/2(arc BC) =1/2(58)

Arc SC = 29°

Arc TE = 1/2(arc DE) =1/2(142)

Arc TE = 71°

Arc SC + Arc CE + Arc TE = 180° (Sum of angles in a semicircle

29° + Arc CE + 71° = 180°

Arc CE + 100° = 180°

Arc CE = 180-100

Arc CE = 80°

Inscribed angle = 1/2(intercepted angle)

<CFE = 1/2(Arc CE )

<CFE = 1/2(80)

< CFE = 40°

algol [13]

Answer:

The distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments from Big Bird's nest

is 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to an equation to solve the problem

- The information i the story problem is

# The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

# The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (5x + 4)

# The distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (15x - 30)

* Now lets solve

∵ The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

∴ The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest = The

distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest

∴ 5x + 4 = 15x - 30

- Collect the variable terms in one side and the numerical terms

in th other side

∴ 15x - 5x = 30 + 4 ⇒ add

∴ 10x = 34

∴ x = 34 ÷ 10 = 3.4

* Now lets find the distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments

from the Big Bird's nest

- We can use any relation to find the distance

∵ The distance = 5x + 4

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 5(3.4) + 4 = 17 + 4 = 21 miles

You can check the answer by using second equation

∵ The distance = 15x - 30

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 15(3.4) - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21 miles

an athletic store sells about 200 pairs of basketball shoes per month when it charges $120 per pair. for each $2 increase in pri

liraira [26]

<span>Let x = dollar increase in price
Let y = fewer number of pairs sold

Since 2 fewer shoes are sold for each 1 dollar (factor of 2)

y = 2x

Revenue = Number of shoes sold * Price charged per shoe

Number of shoes sold = 200 - y = 200 - 2x
Price charged per shoe = $60 + $x

Revenue = (200 - 2x)(60 + x) = -2x^2 + 200x - 120x + 12000
Revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000

In a quadratic equation, Revenue is maximized when x = -b / 2a. In this case:

x - -80 / (2*-2) = $20

Price charged per show = $60 + $x = $60 + $20 = $80.

Maximum revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 (evaluated at x = $20)

Maximum revenue = -2(20^2) + 80*20 + 12000 = $12800</span>
