Ray Np is an angle bisector of angle MNQ and measure of Angle PNQ = 2x+1. Find the measure of angle MNQ. If The measure of MNQ=x
^2-10. Find the value of x, and the appropriate measure of angle MNQ
1 answer:
Refer to the diagram below.
Because ray NP bisects ∠MNQ, therefore
∠MNP = ∠PNQ = 2x + 1.
Therefore
∠MNQ = 2*∠PNQ = 2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2.
Because ∠MNQ is given as x² - 10, therefore
x² - 10 = 4x + 2
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x + 2 )(x - 6) = 0
x = -2, or x = 6
When x = -2,
∠MNQ = 4*(-2) + 2 = -6°
This answer is not acceptablle, therefore x = -2 should be rejected.
When x = 6,
∠MNQ = 4*6 + 2 = 26°
Answer: x = 6, and ∠MNQ = 26°

Answer:
<em>Mean of the sample = 27.83</em>
<em> The variance of the the sample = 106.96</em>
<em> </em><em>Standard deviation of the sample = 10.34</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given random sample of six employees
x 26 32 29 16 45 19
mean of the sample
Mean of the given data = 27.83
<u>Step(ii):-</u>
<u>Given data</u>
x : 26 32 29 16 45 19
x - x⁻ : -1.83 4.17 1.17 -11.83 17.17 -8.83
(x - x⁻)² : 3.3489 17.3889 1.3689 139.9489 294.80 77.9689
∑ (x-x⁻)² = 534.8245
Given sample size 'n' =6
The variance of given data
S² = ∑(x-x⁻)² / n-1
The variance of the given sample = 106.9649
<u> Step(iii):-</u>
Standard deviation of the given data
Standard deviation of the sample = 10.3423
Answer:
It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Scalene Triangle</u></em> - All 3 sides have different lengths.
<em><u>I</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u>osceles</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Triangle</u></em> - 2 sides have equal lengths.
<em><u>Equilateral</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Triangle</u></em> - All 3 sides have equal lengths.
You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.
I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!
