The sum of three numbers is 131. the second of three numbers is seven more than twice the first. the third number is 12 less than the first. what equation can be used to solve the problem? x x x = 131 x (x 7) (x – 12) = 131 x (2x 7) (x – 12) = 131 x (2x 7) – 12 = 131

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. x + (2x + 7) + (x - 12) = 131

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Then, given:

The second number is 2x + 7The third number is x - 12

Since their sum is 131, we get the following equation:

Sum of x, (2x + 7) and (x - 12) is 131,

or

x + (2x + 7) + (x - 12) = 131

This is matching the answer choice C.

Create diagrams to represent the possible cases for common tangents between two circles. Your diagram can be created using multimedia sources or drawn by hand. They should not be copied and pasted from a website. Explain why your diagrams satisfy the given criteria.
No Common Tangents (10 points)

Answers

The diagram to represent the possible cases for common tangents between two circles is as shown in the attachment.

How to Create Common Tangents?

A tangent line to a circle is defined as a line that touches the circle at exactly one point, never entering the circle's interior.

1. When one circle is in between another and one circle does not touch the other one, then tangent is not possible.

2. When one circle is in between another and one circle touches the other one at a point inside the circle, then only one tangent is possible.

3. When one circle intersects the other one, then two tangents are possible.

4. When one circle touches the other one at a point outside, then three tangents are possible.

5. When one circle neither intersects the other one nor inside the other one, then four tangents are possible.

Thus, the diagram to represent the possible cases for common tangents between two circles are as attached below.

Prove that the triangles formed due to the diagonal of rectangle are congruent to one another

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle.The triangles formed due to the diagonal of the rectangle are congruent to one another.

What is a rectangle?

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.

For the given rectangle ABCD, the length of the diagonals AC and BD can be written as,

AC = √(x² + y²)

BD = √(x² + y²)

Now, the triangles formed due to the diagonals AC and BD are ΔABC and ΔBCD. Also, for ΔABC and ΔBCD we can write,

∠ABC = ∠BCD = 90°

AB = CD = x {Oppsite sides of the rectangle are equal}

BC = AD = y {Oppsite sides of the rectangle are equal}

Hence, the two triangles are equal. Therefore, the triangles formed due to the diagonal of the rectangle are congruent to one another.

Find the area of the shaded regions.

Answers

Answer:

Area = 84.8 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears that the line BO is equal to the radius. It also looks like the missing region is equal to 1/4 of the entire area. Therefore, to find the area of the shaded region, you need to (1) find the area of the entire circle and then (2) find the area of 3/4 of the circle.

Area of Circle:

r = 6 cm

A = πr²

A = π(6 cm)²

A = π(36 cm²)

A = 113 cm²

Area of Shaded Region:

Area (Entire Circle) x 3/4 = Area (Shaded Region)

113 cm² x 3/4 = 84.8 cm²

Congruent triangles are two or more triangles with the same length of sides and measure of internal angles. Thus the required proof is as shown below:

From the given diagram, it can be observed that:

AB = AC (similar property of two lines)

AC = AE (similar property of two lines)

Also,

m<A is a common angle to ΔABC and ΔADE

So that it can be concluded that;

ΔABC ≅ ΔADE (Side-Angle-Side property)

Because this is a two-way table, the answer would be that 166 people were polled in total. Why? Well, there are lots of corresponding patterns leading up to this answer. We can easily find the answer by looking at the problem two different ways:

1st way: Identifying the missing solution by rows.

27 + 21 = 48 and 42 + 76 = 118, so we can find the missing value by adding 69 and 97 to get 166.

2nd way: Identifying the missing solution by columns.

27 + 42 = 69 and 21 + 76 = 97, so we can find the missing value by adding 48 and 118 to get 166, our missing solution.

Answers

Both angles have a measure of 125°.

How to find the measure of the angles?

Assuming the two horizontal lines are parallel, we know that the measure of the two indicated angles must be the same one.

Then:

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17

Now we need to solve this for x:

14x - 12x = 17 + 1

2x = 18

x =18/2 = 9

Now that we know the value of x we can replace it in any of the expressions for the angles:

-1 + 14*9 = 125°

Both angles have a measure of 125°.
