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°

At 3:30 p.m., Berto’s train was 34 miles past the egg farm, traveling at an average speed of 85 miles per hour. At the same time
seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Berto’s train was 34 miles past the egg farm .

Eduardo’s train had 12 miles to go before it reached the egg farm.

Distance between two trains = 34 + 12 = 46 miles

This distance has to be reduced to zero for their crossing each other .

Rate at which this distance is reduced  = their relative velocity

= 110 - 85

= 25 miles / h       [ They are moving in the same direction ]

So, time taken for them to meet each other

= 46 / relative velocity

= 46 / 25

= 1.84 hours .

A combination washer/dryer costs $1,179. New parts for this washer/dryer cost $211, labor to repair it costs $553, and shipping
Keith_Richards [23]
The better deal is the Full Warranty, by approximately 174 dollars. To solve the cost of the full warranty, simply multiply 30 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer.30 x 1,179 = 353.70. You do not need to add anything to this because the warranty covers the extra costs. To solve for the cost of the limited warranty, multiply 14 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer, plus the cost of the new parts and the repair center costs (the warranty only covers the labor repair costs): (.14 x 1,179) + 211 + 152 --> 165.06 + 211 + 152 = 528.06. The full warranty is clearly cheaper. To figure out by how much, simply subtract the full warranty from the limited warranty: 528.06 - 353.70 = 174.36. To round to the nearest number, take off the decimal: 174. So that means your answer is D hope this helps.

When a water tank is $30\%$ full, it contains 27 gallons less than when it is $20\%$ empty. How many gallons of water does the t
aksik [14]

Answer:

54 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the volume of the full tank.

When the water tank is 30% full;

= 30% of x = 0.30x

when it is 20% empty:

= x - 20% of x = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

The difference is given as 27.

So, we can represent the question on an equation as;

0.80x - 0.30x = 27

Solving the equation, we have;

0.50x = 27

x = 27/0.50

x = 54 gallons

The tank can hold 54 gallons when it is full.
