The value of x is -20 and can be calculated using basic proportionality theorem.

The Basic Proportionality Theorem, often known as the Thales Theorem, was developed by the well-known Greek mathematician Thales.

Basic Proportionality Theorem asserted that the ratio of any two related sides is always the same for any two equiangular triangles.

Thales provided the basic proportionality theorem based on this idea (BPT). Similar triangles have introduced this idea before. If two triangles resemble one another, then

The corresponding angles of both triangles are equal.

The corresponding sides of both triangles are proportional to one another.

Since the ratio of other side pair is 1:1, similarly 4x+20 = 3x

20 = 3x-4x

20 = -x

Answer:

In a right triangle, the angle opposite the hypotenuse (side c) is always 90 degrees, so we can use the trigonometric function sine to find the length of side c.

sin(A) = opposite / hypotenuse

sin(50) = b / c

so c = b / sin(50)

c = 13 m / sin(50)

c ≈ 22.361 m

So the length of side c is approximately 22.361 meters

A school year is 36 weeks long, so 3/4 of the school year is 36 * (3/4) = 27 weeks.

If Sunny works at the library for three weeks longer than three over four of the school year, he works for 27 + 3 = 30 weeks.

So, Sunny works at the library for 30 weeks in the school year.

The number of weeks in the school year that Sonny worked at the library is; 30 weeks

We are told that Sunny works at the library for three weeks longer than three over four of the school year a school year is 36 weeks long.

Now, since he works three weeks longer than three over four of the school year, then the expression is;

The most clearly violated principle of ethical research in this scenario is individual information should be kept private, only summary results should be made public.

Ethical research requires that the privacy and confidentiality of study participants be protected. This is because the information collected from participants is often sensitive and personal, and the participants may have trusted the researcher to keep their information private.

In this scenario, the researcher has published the raw data, including personal information such as each participant's name, residence, and medical history, which could potentially compromise the privacy of the participants.

This is a clear violation of the principle of confidentiality, as the participants may not have agreed to have their personal information made publicly available.

It is important for researchers to be transparent and honest in their reporting of results, but they also have a responsibility to protect the privacy of their participants.

The publication of raw data, including personal information, should only be done with the explicit consent of the participants or under special circumstances where it is necessary for scientific advancement or the public good.

In conclusion, while the researcher's intention of being transparent in their reporting of results is commendable, the publication of the raw data, including personal information, is a clear violation of the principle of ethical research and could have serious consequences for the privacy and confidentiality of the study participants.

Answer:

2) Acute triangle, isosceles

3) Both are 65 degrees

4) (diagram)

5) a) both 25 degrees

b) midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

2) If you're struggling search up "draw a triangle" and you'll find a website that will draw it for you. It will help you get an idea of it looks like and its nature.

3) We know that sides AB and AC are 5cm. So this triangle is an isosceles which makes the 2 remaining angles equal (if you draw a diagram it will be clear)

So:

180-50/2 = 65

ABC and ACB = 65 degrees each

4) Construct the line AH down the middle like in the diagram I drew.

5) a) Since AH is a straight line, we know that the angle AHB will be 90 degrees. After question 3 we also know that angle ABH is 65 degrees.

BAH = 180-90-65

BAH = 25 degrees

CAH = 50 - 25

CAH = 25 degrees

b) AH is the midpoint for BAC because the 2 segments formed are both 25 degrees.

This means x = 5a pairs up with y = 0.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The two lines have the same x-intercept, which means they cross the x axis at the same location. This is the solution to the system since this point is on both lines simultaneously.

To find the x-intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x.

(1/5)x+4y = a

(1/5)x+4*0 = a

(1/5)x = a

x = 5a

We don't know the value of 'a', so we cannot determine the numeric value of x.

The x-intercept is located at (x,y) = (5a,0) and this is the solution to the system.

The solutions for the inequality "y is greater than one fifth times x plus 3" lies in both quadrant I and quadrant II.

In Mathematics, a quadrant can be defined as the area that is occupied by the values on the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a cartesian coordinate.

Generally speaking, there are four (4) major quadrants in any graph and these include the following:

y is greater than one fifth times x plus 3 ⇒ y > x/5 + 3.

For example, (a^x)^y = a^(xy)

In the case of square root of 7^3, the expression (√7)^3 can be written in the form of base and exponent, where the base is √7 and the exponent is 3.

Now, we can use the Power of a Power Property to simplify the expression, by multiplying the exponents.

So, (√7)^3 = (7^(1/2))^3 = 7^(1/2 * 3) = 7^(3/2)

This means that the square root of 7^3 is equal to 7^(3/2) because the Power of a Power Property allows us to simplify the expression by multiplying the exponents.

It's worth noting that the square root of 7^3 is the same as taking the cube root of 7^3, which is 7^(3/3) = 7^1 = 7.

The angles converted to degrees are: 615°, 165°, 112.5° with their respective quadrants of their terminal side as: 3rd, 2nd, and 2nd.

We simplify each angles of the angle in the radian to a single fraction and then convert them to degree by multiplying by 180°/π as follows:

11π/4 + 2π/3 = (33π + 8π)/12 {12 is the LCM of the denominators}

11π/4 + 2π/3 = 41π/12

11π/4 + 2π/3 = 41π/12 × 180°/π

11π/4 + 2π/3 = 615°

The terminal side of 615° is in the 3rd quadrant

π/6 - 5π/4 = (2π - 15π)/12 {12 is the LCM of the denominators}

π/6 - 5π/4 = -13π/12

π/6 - 5π/4 = -13π/12 × 180°/π

π/6 - 5π/4 = -195°

π/6 - 5π/4 = 165° {changing -195° to positive angle by adding 360°}

The terminal side of 165° is in the 2nd quadrant.

9π/8 - π/2 = (9π - 4π)/8 {8 is the LCM of the denominators}

9π/8 - π/2 = 5π/8

9π/8 - π/2 = 5π/8 × 180°/π

9π/8 - π/2 = 225°/2

9π/8 - π/2 = 112.5°

The terminal side of 112.5° is in the 2nd quadrant.

Answer:  In the month of October, the animal shelter saved 92 animals.

Step-by-step explanation: In the month of October, the animal shelter saw an increase of 15% of animals being saved from the previous month. To calculate this increase, we can use the formula:

increase = (original number) x (percent increase)

In this case, the original number is 80 (the number of animals saved in September) and the percent increase is 15%. So:

increase = 80 x 0.15 = 12

This means that in October, the animal shelter saved an additional 12 animals beyond the 80 animals that were saved in September. To find the total number of animals saved in October, we add this increase to the original number:

animals saved in October = 80 + 12 = 92

So, in the month of October, the animal shelter saved 92 animals.

In the triangle, we will use the Law of Cosines to find the value of angle q. angle q in the triangle is approximately 61.2° (rounded to one decimal place).

The Law of Cosines is a mathematical formula used in trigonometry to find the length of a side or an angle in a triangle.

The formula can be used to find the length of a side or an angle in a triangle, given the length of the other sides and angles.

The Law of Cosines is particularly useful when only two sides and the angle between them are known, or when only two angles and the side between them are known.

To use the Law of Cosines, you need to identify the sides and angles that you know and plug them into the formula. Then, you can use algebra to solve for the unknown side or angle.

The Law of Cosines is related to the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the length of the longest side.

The Law of Cosines can also be used in three-dimensional geometry to find the distance between two points in space.

The Law of Cosines is a useful tool in many fields, including engineering, physics, and computer graphics, and is widely used in solving geometric problems.

In this triangle, we have x = 66.1 cm, y = 22.8 cm, and angle f = 23.3º. We want to find angle q, which is opposite side x.

We can use the Law of Cosines to find the value of cos(q), and then use the inverse cosine function to find the value of q in degrees.

cos(q) = (x² + y² - x²)/(2xy)

cos(q) = (66.1² + 22.8² - 22.8²)/(2 * 66.1 * 22.8)

cos(q) = 67.8664/150.6448

cos(q) = 0.449

q = cos⁻¹(0.449)

q = 61.2°

Therefore, angle q in the triangle is approximately 61.2° (rounded to one decimal place).

Answer: Fall Out Boy's service is cheaper than Five Seconds of Summer's service.

Step-by-step explanation: The cost of Five Seconds of Summer's tutoring service can be represented by the equation:

C = 5 + 5h

where C is the total cost and h is the number of hours.

The cost of Fall Out Boy's tutoring service can be represented by the equation:

C = 9 + 3h

To compare the cost of the two services, we can use the substitution method. We can set the number of hours (h) equal to a variable and substitute that variable into the equation for both services.

For example, if we set h = 4 (4 hours of tutoring), we get:

C(Five Seconds of Summer) = 5 + 5(4) = 25

C(Fall Out Boy) = 9 + 3(4) = 21

The cost of Fall Out Boy's service is $21 and the cost of Five Seconds of Summer's service is $25. Therefore, Fall Out Boy's service is cheaper for 4 hours of tutoring.

We can also graph the cost of the two services on a coordinate plane. The x-axis represents the number of hours and the y-axis represents the cost. The equation for Five Seconds of Summer's service would be y = 5 + 5x and the equation for Fall Out Boy's service would be y = 9 + 3x
