First, let's define what an angle bisector is. Suppose you draw an angle labeled RST where the vertex is at point S, as shown in the attached picture. The angle bisector is a line segment that is drawn from the vertex S and extended outwards, such that it divides the angle into two equal parts. In this case, the angle bisector is line segment SV. The orange angle represents the total angle equal to (8x-14)°. The half of the angle, denoted as the red curve, represents (3x + 5)°. Th equation to be used is:

∠RST = 2×∠RSV
8x - 14 = 2(3x+5)
8x-14 = 6x + 10
8x - 6x = 10+14
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12°

Zepler [3.9K]
<h2>∴Will ran 13.55 yards more than James.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards each sides .

∴The distance covered by Will was =\sqrt{40^{2}+40^2 } yards

                                                         = 40\sqrt{2} yards=56.56 yards

Again James ran diagonal distance across a rectangle field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards.

So,distance covered by James was =\sqrt{25^2+35^2} yards

                                                             =5\sqrt{74} yards = 43.01 yards

∴Will ran longer distance.

∴Will ran 13.55 yards more than James.

vivado [14]

Answer:

Option B is correct

36 pizzas were topped with vegetables

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

As per the statement:

At a pizzeria, the ratio of pizzas topped with meat to pizzas topped with vegetables was 4:3 on Saturday.

The ratio of pizza topped with meat to pizzas topped with vegetables = 4 : 3

then;

the number of pizza topped with meat = 4x

and

the number pizza topped with vegetables  = 3x

It is also given that the pizzeria made a total of 84 pizzas that day.

\text{Total Pizzas} = \text{Number of pizzas topped with meat}+ \text{Number of pizzas topped with vegetables}

Substitute the given values we get;

84 = 4x+3x

Combine like terms;

84= 7x

Divide both sides by 7 we get;

12 = x

The pizza were topped with vegetables = 3x = 3(12) = 36

therefore, 36 pizzas were topped with vegetables

Draw a bar model that shows how the number of hours in March compares with the number of hours in February of this year.
gogolik [260]
Okay so first we need to find how many days are in March and February. March has 31 days and because this year was a leap year February has 29 days.

The next step is to convert days to hours.
March: 31x24=744
February: 29x24=696

Now its time to graph
