Answer:

$m\angle BAD=73^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Find the value of x

Let

O ----> the center of the circle

we know that

Triangle BOC≅Triangle COD

$m\angle BOC=arc\ BC$ ----> by central angle

$m\angle COD=arc\ CD$ ----> by central angle

$m\angle BOC=m\angle COD$

therefore

$arc\ BC=arc\ CD$

substitute the given values

$(9x-53)^o=(2x+45)^o$

solve for x

$9x-2x=45+53\\7x=98\\x=14$

step 2

Find the measure of angle BAD

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

$m\angle BAD=\frac{1}{2} [arc\ BC+arc\ CD]$

$arc\ BC=9(14)-53=73^o$

$arc\ CD=2(14)+45=73^o$

substitute

$m\angle BAD=\frac{1}{2} [73^o+73^o]=73^o$

Hazel needs to get to her granddaughter's house by taking an airplane and a rental car. She travels 900 miles by plane and 250 m

Arisa [49]

Answer:

50 pmh

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by plane = 900 miles

Distance traveled by car = 250 miles

Let the speed of the car is c. The plane travels 250 mph faster than the car, so speed of the plane will be c + 250

Let the time taken to travel on car is t. She traveled 2 hours more on car the she rode on plane. This means she consumed 2 hours less time on plane. So the time spent on plane will be t - 2 hours.

Distance = Speed x Time

For Plane, the equation will be:

900 = (c + 250)(t - 2) <u>Equation 1</u>

Likewise, the equation for car will be:

250 = ct

From here, t = 250/c

Using this value in Equation 1, we get:

$900= (c + 250)(\frac{250}{c} -2)\\\\ 900=250 +\frac{62500}{c}-2c-500\\\\ 1150=\frac{62500}{c}-2c\\\\ 1150c=62500-2c^{2}\\\\ 2c^{2}+1150c-62500=0\\\\ \text{Using the quadratic formula, we get}\\\\ c=\frac{-1150\pm \sqrt{1150^{2}-4(2)(-62500)} }{2(2)}\\\\ c = -625, 50$

Since value of speed cannot be negative, we only consider the positive value. So from here we can conclude that the speed of the car was 50 mph

The Hernandez family orders 3 large pizzas. They cut the pizzas so that each pizza has the same number of slices, giving them a

jeka57 [31]

For the Hernandez family, 3 pizzas were cut into 24 slices. So each pizza was cut into 24/3 = 8 slices. So if there should be an equation representing the relationship between the number of slices, y, and the number of pizzas, x, that would be y = 8x. So option #1 is incorrect.

As for the the Wilson family, if they ordered 3 large pizzas, they would cut them into y = 10(3) = 30 slices. So they would have more slices than the Hernandez family. So option #3 is correct. In addition, the equation tells us that they cut each pizza into 10 slices instead of 8 slices as the Hernandez family’s did. So the Hernandez family’s slices are larger than the Wilson family’s slices. Option #2 is incorrect. As for option #4, the constant of proportionality can be determined as 8 for the Hernandez family. So option#4 is incorrect either.

Answer: Option #3
