THE 2 ANGLES ARE X & X+26 X+X+26=90 2X=90-26 2X=64 X=64/2 X=32 FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE. 32+26=58 FOR THE LARGER ANGLE. PROOF 32+58=90 90=90

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/134163: How do i do this? simplify (all positive exponents) 1 solutions Answer 98134 by checkley71(8403)   on 2008-03-28 20:39:27 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (3^-3U^2W^-5)/(6^-1U^-1W^-2) ALL NEGATIVE EXPONENTS IN THE NUMERATOR MOVE TO THE DENOMINATOR AND BECOME POSITIVE EXPONEBTS. ALL NEGATIVE EXPONENTS IN THE DENOMINATOR MOVE TO THE NUMERATOR AND BECOME POSITIVE EXPONENTS. THUS WE HAVE: (6^1U^2U^1W^1)/(3^3W^5) (6U^3W^2)/(27W^5) (2U^3)/(9W^3) ANSWER.

Geometry_Word_Problems/134181: Please help me solve this problem. Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one is twice the measure of the other. What is the measure of the larger angle? Thanks. 1 solutions Answer 98133 by checkley71(8403)   on 2008-03-28 20:30:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+Y=180 X=2Y NOW REPLACE X BY 2Y & SOLVE FOR Y 2Y+Y=180 3Y=180 Y=180/3 Y=60 ANSWER FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE. X=2*60=120 ANSWER FOR THE LARGER ANGLE. PROOF: 60=120=180 180=180

Linear_Equations_And_Systems_Word_Problems/134197: Find the equation of the line through (-1,-7) having a slope of -6. 1 solutions Answer 98131 by checkley71(8403)   on 2008-03-28 20:26:49 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y=mX+b -7=-6*-1+b -7=6+b b=-7-6 b=-13 THUS THE EQUATION IS: Y=-6X-13 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -15 to 10, -6x -13).

Circles/134189: Find the area of the shaded region! PLEASE HELP! 1 solutions Answer 98126 by checkley71(8403)   on 2008-03-28 20:22:54 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE AREA OF THE CIRCLE IS: A=PIR^2 A=3.14*12^2 A=3.14*144 A=452.16 452.16(60/360) 452.16*(1/6)=75.36 IS THE AREA OF THE 60 DEGREE ARC. THE HEIGHT IF THE EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS: 6^2+X^2=12^2 WHERE X=HEIGHT. 36+X^2=144 X^2=144-36 X^2=108 X=SQRT108 X=10.39 FOR THE HEIGHT. THE EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE AREA IS: A=BH/2 A=12*10.39/2 A=124.68/2 A=62.34 NOW SUBTRACT THE TRIANGLE AREA FROM THE 60 DEGREE ARC AREA: 75.36-62.34=13.02 ANSWER FOR THE SHADED AREA.
