It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

m \angle PQS = 2x+1
\\
m \angle RQS = 4x-15

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS

Substituting the values, we will get

2x+1=4x-15
\\
1+15 = 4x-2x
\\
2x = 16
\\
x = 8

Answer:

x = 8

∠PQR = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Line QS bisects ∠PQR

  • The measure of ∠PQS = 2x + 1
  • The measure of ∠RQS = 4x - 15

QS is bisector of ∠PQR

So, ∠PQS = ∠RQS

2x + 1 = 4x - 15

4x - 2x = 1 + 15

     2x = 16

      x = 8

∠PQS = 2(8) + 1

          = 16+1

         = 17°

∠RQS = 4x-15

          = 4(8)-15

          = 17°

∠PQR = ∠PQS + ∠RQS

          = 17° + 17°

          = 34°

Hence, The measure of ∠PQR is 34°

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A).Two corresponding sides of the given figures will be,

AB and DE

BC and EF

Similarly one pair of corresponding points will be,

A and D.

(B). Since large figure has been scaled to the smaller image,

Scale factor = \frac{\text{Side of the image}}{\text{Side of the actual figure}}

                    = \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}

                    = \frac{0.5}{2}

                    = 0.25

Therefore, scale factor will be 0.25.

The graph of f(x) = |x| is transformed to g(x) = [X + 11-7. On which interval is the function decreasing?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve it

- Decreasing function means a function with a graph that moves

 downward as it is followed from left to right.

- For example, any line with a negative slope is decreasing function

- Lets look to the attached graph to understand the meaning of the

 decreasing function

∵ f(x) = IxI ⇒ green graph

∵ g(x) = Ix + 1I - 7 ⇒ purple graph

- From the graph f(x) translated 1 unit to the left and 7 units down to

 form g(x)

- The domains of f(x) and g(x) are all real numbers {x : x ∈ R}

- The range of f(x) is {y : y ≥ 0}

- The range of g(x) is {y : y ≥ -7}

# For f(x)

- The slope of the green line from (-∞ , 0) is negative

- The slope of the green line from (0 , ∞) is positive

# For g(x)

- The slope of the purple line from (-∞ , -1) is negative

- The slope of the purple line from (-1 , ∞) is positive

∵ The line with negative slope represent decreasing function

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)

A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi
Grace [21]
I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

sladkih [1.3K]
The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!
