He is not correct.  If this is to be an equilateral triangle then all the angles must be the same measure.  That means that 180/3 = 60°.  They all have to equal 60°.  If one of the angles measures 4x-12, then 4x-12=60.  Solving for x, we will add 12 to both sides to get 4x=72.  x here is 18.  For the other angle measuring 2x+26, we would do the same.  2x+26=60.  Subtract 26 from both sides to get 2x= 34 and x = 17.  He was way off.

No, Yin is not correct. If  x = 19, the measure of angle ABC = 4(19) – 12 = 64. Therefore, the two base angles measure 64°. An equilateral triangle is quadrangular, so each angle would have to measure 60° because there are 180° in a triangle.

How does the area of triangle RST compare to the area of triangle LMN? The area of △RST is 2 square units less than the area of
sashaice [31]
Inscribe triangle RST in the square with dimensions 4×4, as shown in the figure. 

from the area of this square, 4*4=16, we remove the triangles with dimensions 
3×4, 2×1 and 2×4, whose side lengths are shown in the figure, and we are left with the area of triangle RST.


so Area(RTS)=16- \frac{1}{2}*3*4-  \frac{1}{2}*2*1-  \frac{1}{2}*2*4=16-6-1-4=5 units squared

similarly, 

Area(LMN)=4*3- \frac{1}{2}*1*4- \frac{1}{2}*2*2- \frac{1}{2}*2*3=12-2-2-3=5 units squared

Thus, the areas are equal.

5. When looking at a map, a student realizes that Birmingham is nearly due west of Atlanta, and Nashville is nearly due north of
leonid [27]

Answer: 250 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can think in a triangle rectangle:

The distance from Birmingham to Atlanta is roughly 150 mi, and this is one of the cathetus.

And the distance from Birmingham to Nashville is roughly 200 mi, this is the other cathetus of the triangle.

Now, the distance from Atlanta to Nashville will be the hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.

Now we can apply the Pythagorean's theorem:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

Where A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse:

Then:

H = √(A^2 + B^2)

H = √(150^2 + 200^2) mi = √(62,500) mi = 250 mi

Then the estimated distance from Atlanta to Nashville is 250 mi

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It starts in quadrant 1, crosses the x axis where the vertex is in quadrant 4, and c
andrew-mc [135]
F(x) = (x - 8)2-6

if you simplify the equation you’re left with f(x) = (x - 8) - 4. there are two transformations that can be derived from this equation: translate horizontally right 8 and translate vertically down 4. because the parabola starts in quadrant 1, the parabola needs to be translated right opposed to left to match this. since the parabola’s vertex is in the negative quadrant 4, the function needs to be moved down which matches the second vertical translation the equation gives us.
