The answer is 80°.

If there is a line segment in a triangle which cuts two sides in half or if there is a line segment between two midpoints of a triangle's sides, that line segment must be parallel to the remaining side.

In this case, point L is the midpoint of FH, and point K is the midpoint of HG. So, LK is parallel to FG.

When a line cuts two parallel lines, there are angle pairs which are equal. In the problem above, the line segment FH cuts KL and GF.

The angles KLH and GFH are what we called "Corresponding Angles" and they are equal.

So if HFG is 80°, HLK must be equal to 80°

The measure of the vertex angle in an isosceles triangle is six less than four time the measure of the base angle. find the meas

blagie [28]

An isosceles triangle is a special type of triangle that has two equal sides. Consequently, the two base angles are also equal. Since the interior angles of a triangle should sum up to 180°, the general equation should be

180° = 2*Base angle + Vertex angle

Let the base angle be x. Thus, the vertex angle is equal to
Vertex angle = 4x - 6
Substituting,
180 = 2x + 4x - 6
x = 31°

Vertex angle = 4(31°) - 6
Vertex angle = 118°

A motorcycle and a car leave an intersection at the same time. the motorcycle heads north at an average speed of 20 miles per h

satela [25.4K]

First, determine the distance of the motorcycle and the car from the start point. The distance could be determined using
$\boxed{d=v \times t}$
d stands for distance, v stands for speed, t stands for time

The car
d = 48 × t
d = 48t

The motorcycle
d = 20 × t
d = 20t

At the end of t hours, the car is 48t miles (east) from the start point and the motorcycle is 20t miles (north) from the start point.

Second, determine the distance between 48t miles at east and 20t miles at north using pythagoras
distance = $\sqrt{(48t)^{2}+(20t)^{2}}$
distance = $\sqrt{2304t^{2}+400t^{2}}$
distance = $\sqrt{2704t^{2}}$
distance = 52t

The expression for their distance apart at the end of t hours is 52t

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00

timama [110]

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

Freddy the frog is climbing up a well. Every day he climbs up 3 m but some nights he falls asleep and slips back 4m at the start

Anarel [89]

Answer: The frog fell asleep for 4 nights.

Step-by-step explanation: First, he climbs up 3m every night. there are 16 nights before he gets to 29m. He has not climbed up for the 16th day so 15*3= 45. 45-29= 16. 16/4=4. The frog slept for 4 nights.

Georges asked five of his friends how long they studied for the last math test and what grade they received. He found a linear r

faltersainse [42]

The value 65.8 is the y-intercept which means that we will get y = 65.8 if x is equal to zero. This means that 65.8 is the score that one can get if he does not study at all.
