Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle Z W X is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point W to point Y on side Z X to form a right

angle. The length of W Y is 4, the length of Y X is a, the length of Z Y is 3, the length of Z W is c, and the length of W X is b. What is the value of a? 5 units 5 and one-third units 6 and two-thirds units 7 units

Answer:

5 and one-third units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, we are given the following values:

The length of W Y = 4

The length of Y X = a

The length of Z Y = 3

We are to find a

From the describe diagram above, we would have the following

WY:ZY = YX :WY

WY/ ZY = YX/WY

4/3= a/4

Cross Multiply

4× 4 = 3a

Divide both sides by 3

a = 16/3

a = 5 1/3 units

a = 5 and one third units

M∠1=45° and m∠3=65°
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

In Right Δ ABC with right angle B,

∠A=(3 x -8)°, ∠B=90°, ∠C=(x-2)°

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°[∠ sum property of triangle]

3 x-8+90 + x-2=180

Adding and subtracting like terms

4 x-10+90=180

4 x+80=180

4 x=180-80

4 x=100

x=100/4

x=25°

∠A=3×25-8=75-8=67°

Answer:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive means the events will have no intersection.

Let's look at your first choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on an even number would be 2 or 4.

There is an intersection (they contain a common element), the 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your second choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on a number greater than 3 would be just 4.

There is an intersection; they both contain 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your third choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 would just be 3.

There is no common elements in the lists listed.  These events have no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fourth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number"

Landing on a unshaded portion would be 2 or 3.

Landing on an odd number would be 1 or 3.

There is an intersection; they both have 3 in common.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fifth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Landing on an unshaded portion would 2 or 3.

Landing on a number less than 2 would be 1.

There is no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

d. Adjustments

Studen loan interests and IRA contributions are deductions found under the heading of ADJUSTMENTS TO INCOME to compute for the Adjusted Gross Income or AGI.

Standard deductions are those based on the filing status of the individual and not his total itemized deductions. Regardless of the actual expenses incurred by an individual, he can claim a standar deduction if he is single, head of household, married filing separately, married filing jointly, qualifying widow(er). at the time he files for his federal tax return.

taxable income is the income left from all the necessary deductions.

For example: Gretchen's income =>                 $56,750
   less: Adjustments to income
             student loan interest $1,200
             IRA Contribution            3,000                  -  4,200

Find the point of intersection of the lines: y = 4x + 1 and y = – 2x + 4 A. (2 , 9) B. ( 1 2, 3 ) C. (1 , 2) D. ( 1 4, 2)
alekssr [168]

Answer:

B. (1/2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is perhaps easiest to try the point values in the equations.

A — 4·2+1 = 9; -2·2 +4 ≠9 . . . . not the answer

B — 4·1/2 +1 = 3; -2·(1/2) +4 = 3 . . . . this is the answer

we need go no further since we have the answer
