1

Determine the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is

360^\circ

.

This is a fundamental property of quadrilaterals, which can also be derived using the formula

(n - 2) \times 180^\circ

with

n = 4

.

2

Calculate the total number of parts in the given ratio.

The sum of the ratio parts is

2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 15

.

Adding the parts of the ratio allows us to find the size of a single share of the total angle sum.

3

Find the measure of one part of the ratio.

One part is equal to

360^\circ \div 15 = 24^\circ

Cevap: $6$

Cevap

The correct answer is

6

.

The correct answer is

6

. Using the slope definition

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

, we write the slope equation as

\frac{b - 3}{5 - a} = \frac{3}{4}

, which gives

b - 3 = \frac{3}{4}(5 - a)

. Substituting this expression into the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(5 - a)^2 + (b - 3)^2} = 10

yields

10 = \sqrt{(5 - a)^2 + \left(\frac{3}{4}(5 - a)\right)^2} = \frac{5}{4}|5 - a|

. Solving for the horizontal change gives

|5 - a| = 8

, which means

5 - a = \pm 8

. If

5 - a = 8

, then

a = -3

and

b - 3 = 6 \Rightarrow b = 9

. The sum of these coordinates is

-3 + 9 = 6

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the slope equation using the definition of slope:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

.

\frac{b - 3}{5 - a} = \frac{3}{4}

, which simplifies to

b - 3 = \frac{3}{4}(5 - a)

.

This establishes a relationship between the coordinate differences of points

P

and

Q

based on the given slope.

2

Set up the distance equation using the distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

.

10 = \sqrt{(5 - a)^2 + (b - 3)^2}

.

This uses the given distance of

10

units to constrain the coordinate differences.

3

Substitute the slope relationship

b - 3 = \frac{3}{4}(5 - a)

into the distance equation and solve for

(5 - a)

.

10 = \sqrt{(5 - a)^2 + \left(\frac{3}{4}(5 - a)\right)^2} \Rightarrow 10 = \sqrt{(5 - a)^2 \left(1 + \frac{9}{16}\right)} \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{5}{4}|5 - a| \Rightarrow |5 - a| = 8

. Thus,

5 - a = 8

or

5 - a = -8

.

Substituting one variable simplifies the system to a single quadratic equation in terms of the horizontal change.

4

Solve for the two possible values of

a

and calculate the corresponding values of

b

.

Case 1: If

5 - a = 8

, then

a = -3

. Substituting this back gives

b - 3 = \frac{3}{4}(8) = 6 \Rightarrow b = 9

. The sum is

a + b = -3 + 9 = 6

. Case 2: If

5 - a = -8

, then

a = 13

. Substituting this back gives

b - 3 = \frac{3}{4}(-8) = -6 \Rightarrow b = -3

. The sum is

a + b = 13 + (-3) = 10

.

Evaluating both branches of the absolute value equation yields the two valid coordinate combinations that satisfy both the slope and distance criteria.

The interior angles of a triangle sum to

180^\circ

. Since the angles are in the ratio

3:4:5

, they can be represented as

3x

,

4x

, and

5x

. Adding these gives

12x = 180^\circ

, which simplifies to

x = 15^\circ

. The interior angles are therefore

45^\circ

,

60^\circ

, and

75^\circ

. Because an exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle, the largest exterior angle is paired with the smallest interior angle:

180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ

. Alternatively, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles:

60^\circ + 75^\circ = 135^\circ

.

Represent the interior angles algebraically using the given ratio.

Let the measures of the interior angles be

3x

The ratio of the angles is

3:4:5

, so their measures must be multiples of these ratio numbers by the same factor

Set up and solve an equation for

x

using the triangle angle sum theorem.

3x + 4x + 5x = 180^\circ \implies 12x = 180^\circ \implies x = 15^\circ

Find the largest exterior angle of the triangle.

The largest exterior angle is supplementary to the smallest interior angle:

Cevap: $\frac{3\sqrt{19}}{2}$

Cevap

The length of segment EC is \frac{3\sqrt{19}}{2} centimeters.

To find the length of segment EC, we can construct the right triangle EBC with a right angle at B. By using the properties of 30-60-90 right triangles, we determine the side lengths of the triangles in the figure: first finding BC = 6 and AB = 6\sqrt{3} in triangle ABC; then finding AD = 9 in triangle ABD; then finding AE = \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2} in triangle ADE; and finally finding EB = AB - AE = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}. Applying the Pythagorean theorem to right triangle EBC yields EC = \sqrt{(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2})^2 + 6^2} = \frac{3\sqrt{19}}{2}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the side lengths of the main right triangle ABC. Since angle A = 30 degrees and angle B = 90 degrees, triangle ABC is a 30-60-90 right triangle. With hypotenuse AC = 12, the leg opposite the 30-degree angle is BC = \frac{12}{2} = 6, and the leg opposite the 60-degree angle is AB = 6\sqrt{3}.

BC = 6 and AB = 6\sqrt{3}

Knowing the side lengths of triangle ABC is necessary to find the dimensions of the smaller inscribed triangles.

2

Find the length of segment AD in right triangle ABD. Altitude BD is perpendicular to AC, making triangle ABD a right triangle with right angle ADB. Since angle A = 30 degrees, triangle ABD is also a 30-60-90 right triangle with hypotenuse AB = 6\sqrt{3}. The side adjacent to the 30-degree angle, AD, is given by AB \times \cos(30^\circ) = 6\sqrt{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 9.

AD = 9

Determining AD allows us to analyze the smaller right triangle ADE built on it.

3

Find the lengths of segments AE and EB. In right triangle ADE (where DE is perpendicular to AB), the hypotenuse is AD = 9 and angle A = 30 degrees. The side adjacent to the 30-degree angle is AE = AD \times \cos(30^\circ) = 9 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2}. Segment EB is then found by subtracting AE from AB: EB = AB - AE = 6\sqrt{3} - \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}.

EB = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}

We need the length of segment EB to apply the Pythagorean theorem in the final right triangle EBC.

4

Apply the Pythagorean theorem to right triangle EBC. Since line segment AB is perpendicular to BC, angle EBC is a right angle. In right triangle EBC, the legs are EB = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} and BC = 6. The hypotenuse EC is calculated as EC = \sqrt{EB^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2})^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{\frac{27}{4} + 36} = \sqrt{\frac{171}{4}} = \frac{3\sqrt{19}}{2}.

EC = \frac{3\sqrt{19}}{2}

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the legs EB and BC gives the length of the hypotenuse EC.

The correct answer is 7.

To find the points of intersection between the circle and the line, we substitute the line's equation

y = x

into the circle's equation

x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 4y = 0

. This substitution yields

2x^2 - 14x = 0

. Factoring out

2x

2x(x - 7) = 0

, which has solutions

x = 0

and

x = 7

The flagpole, ground, and line from the top of the pole to the tip of the shadow form a right triangle. The diagonal distance of

20

feet represents the hypotenuse, and the shadow length of

16

feet represents one of the legs. Using the Pythagorean theorem (

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

, which simplifies to

a^2 + 256 = 400

. Subtracting

a^2 = 144

The flagpole is vertical and the ground is horizontal, forming a right angle. The distance from the top of the pole to the tip of the shadow is the diagonal (hypotenuse).

Cevap: 0.5

The correct width of the frame is 0.5 feet.

The correct answer is 0.5 feet. To find the width of the frame, we define the total dimensions of the framed painting as

(2 + 2x)

and

(6 + 2x)

. Setting their product equal to the total area of 21 square feet gives the quadratic equation

4x^2 + 16x - 9 = 0

. Solving this using the quadratic formula yields

x = 0.5

and

x = -4.5

. Since a physical width must be positive, the width of the frame is 0.5 feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the equation for the total area. The painting's dimensions are

2

feet by

6

feet. Adding a frame of uniform width

x

on all sides increases both the width and the length by

2x

.

The total dimensions are

(2 + 2x)

and

(6 + 2x)

, and the total area is given by the equation:

(2 + 2x)(6 + 2x) = 21

.

To find the width of the frame, we must relate the final total area to the dimensions of the painting plus the frame.

2

Expand the equation and write it in standard quadratic form

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

.

12 + 4x + 12x + 4x^2 = 21 \implies 4x^2 + 16x + 12 = 21 \implies 4x^2 + 16x - 9 = 0

.

Standard form is required to apply the quadratic formula or to factor the quadratic expression.

3

Solve the quadratic equation

4x^2 + 16x - 9 = 0

using the quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

.

x = \frac{-16 \pm \sqrt{16^2 - 4(4)(-9)}}{2(4)} = \frac{-16 \pm \sqrt{256 + 144}}{8} = \frac{-16 \pm \sqrt{400}}{8} = \frac{-16 \pm 20}{8}

.

This formula provides the solutions to any quadratic equation.

4

Calculate the two possible values for

x

and select the physically meaningful one.

x = \frac{-16 + 20}{8} = 0.5

or

x = \frac{-16 - 20}{8} = -4.5

. Since width must be positive, the only valid solution is

x = 0.5

.

A physical measurement like width cannot be negative.

To solve this problem, first determine the coordinates of endpoint

Q(x, y)

using the midpoint formula. Since

M(-1, 5)

is the midpoint of segment

PQ

and

P(2, -3)

is one endpoint, the horizontal coordinate satisfies

-1 = \frac{2 + x}{2}

, which yields

x = -4

. The vertical coordinate satisfies

5 = \frac{-3 + y}{2}

, which yields

y = 13

. Thus, the coordinates of

Q

are

(-4, 13)

. Next, calculate the distance between

Q(-4, 13)

and the target point

(0, 10)

using the distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(0 - (-4))^2 + (10 - 13)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = 5

. This matches the correct value.

Set up equations using the midpoint formula to determine the coordinates of endpoint

Q(x_Q, y_Q)

The coordinates of a midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the two endpoints.

2

Solve the midpoint equations for the coordinates of

Q

1

Multiply both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 20.

5(3w - 8) + 12 = 4(2w + 7)

This clears the fractions and simplifies the equation to integer coefficients.

Combine the constant terms on the left side of the equation.

15w - 28 = 8w + 28

Combining

-40

Isolate the variable

w

by moving the variable terms to the left side and constant terms to the right side.

6.5

inches, the hypotenuse has a length of

2 \times 6.5 = 13

inches.

The triangle is a

30^\circ

90^\circ

right triangle, meaning the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg.

By geometric theorem, the sides of a

90^\circ

triangle are in the ratio

1 : \sqrt{3} : 2

, with the shortest side opposite the

30^\circ

angle and the longest side being the hypotenuse.

Multiply the length of the side opposite the

30^\circ

angle by 2.

6.5 \text{ inches} \times 2 = 13 \text{ inches}

Doubling the shorter leg length of

Line $A$ passes through the points $(-3, 4)$ and $(5, 8)$ in a coordinate plane. Line $B$ is perpendicular to Line $A$ and passes through the point $(2, -1)$ . What is the $y$ -coordinate of the point where Line $B$ crosses the $y$ -axis?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The correct answer is 3.

The correct answer is 3. Finding the slope of the first line gives 0.5. The negative reciprocal of 0.5 is -2, which is the slope of the perpendicular line. Setting up the slope equation between the point (2, -1) and the y-intercept (0, 3) confirms the y-coordinate is indeed 3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the slope of Line A.

The slope of Line A is 0.5.

Using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

for points

(-3, 4)

and

(5, 8)

gives

m_A = \frac{8 - 4}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{4}{8} = 0.5

.

2

Find the slope of Line B.

The slope of Line B is -2.

Because Line B is perpendicular to Line A, its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of Line A:

m_B = -\frac{1}{0.5} = -2

.

3

Determine the y-intercept of Line B.

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept is 3.

Line B passes through

(2, -1)

and

(0, b)

. Using the slope formula:

\frac{b - (-1)}{0 - 2} = -2 \implies \frac{b + 1}{-2} = -2 \implies b + 1 = 4 \implies b = 3

-2

gives

y - (-1) = -2(x - 2)

In $\triangle ABC$ , point $D$ lies on side $BC$ such that $AD = BD$ . If the measure of $\angle ADC$ is $112^\circ$ and the measure of $\angle BAC$ is $85^\circ$ , what is the measure of $\angle C$ , in degrees?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 39

Cevap

The measure of

\angle C

is

39^\circ

.

The measure of

\angle C

is found by first calculating the interior angle

\angle ADB = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ

since

BDC

forms a straight line. Because

AD = BD

,

\triangle ABD

is isosceles with

\angle B = \angle BAD

. Using the angle sum of

\triangle ABD

, we have

2(\angle B) + 68^\circ = 180^\circ

, which yields

\angle B = 56^\circ

. Finally, using the angle sum of

\triangle ABC

, we calculate

\angle C = 180^\circ - (85^\circ + 56^\circ) = 39^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the measure of

\angle ADB

using the linear pair relationship with

\angle ADC

.

\angle ADB = 68^\circ

Angles on a straight line add up to

180^\circ

. Since

D

lies on

BC

,

\angle ADB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ

.

2

Calculate the measure of

\angle B

using the properties of the isosceles triangle

ABD

.

\angle B = 56^\circ

Since

AD = BD

, the base angles opposite to these sides are equal:

\angle BAD = \angle B

. The sum of angles in

\triangle ABD

is

180^\circ

, so

2(\angle B) + 68^\circ = 180^\circ

.

3

Find the measure of

\angle C

using the triangle angle sum theorem on the large triangle

ABC

.

\angle C = 39^\circ

The sum of the angles in

\triangle ABC

is

180^\circ

\angle BAC + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ

. Substituting the known values gives

first. Since

\angle ADC = \angle B + \angle BAD

. Since

\angle B = \angle BAD

, we get

2(\angle BAD) = 112^\circ \implies \angle BAD = 56^\circ

. Because

\angle BAC = 85^\circ

, we have

\angle DAC = 85^\circ - 56^\circ = 29^\circ

\angle C

directly:

\angle C = 180^\circ - (112^\circ + 29^\circ) = 39^\circ

Cevap: $-\frac{1}{5}$

Cevap

The value of the

y

-coordinate of the

y

-intercept is

-\frac{1}{5}

.

To find the

y

-intercept of the line, we can use the point-slope equation of a line:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

, where

m

is the slope and

(x_1, y_1)

is a point on the line. Substituting the given point

(3, 1)

and slope

\frac{2}{5}

yields

y - 1 = \frac{2}{5}(x - 3)

. Since the

y

-intercept occurs at

x = 0

, we substitute

0

for

x

to find the corresponding

y

-value:

y - 1 = \frac{2}{5}(0 - 3)

, which simplifies to

y - 1 = -\frac{6}{5}

. Adding

1

to both sides gives

y = -\frac{1}{5}

. Therefore, the value of the

y

-coordinate of the

y

-intercept is

-\frac{1}{5}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

This formula allows us to write the equation of a line when we know its slope (

m

) and a point on the line (

(x_1, y_1)

).

2

Substitute the given slope

m = \frac{2}{5}

and point

(3, 1)

into the formula.

y - 1 = \frac{2}{5}(x - 3)

This establishes the equation for the specific line described in the problem.

3

Substitute

x = 0

to find the

y

-intercept of the line.

y - 1 = \frac{2}{5}(0 - 3) \implies y - 1 = -\frac{6}{5}

The

y

-intercept of any graph is the point where it crosses the

Cevap: $36$

Cevap

The value of the constant

c

is

36

.

By completing the square on

x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 12y + c = 0

, we get the standard form equation

(x+4)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 52-c

. This shows the circle's center is at

(-4, 6)

and its radius squared is

r^2 = 52-c

. Because the circle is tangent to the

y

-axis, the radius is the horizontal distance from the center to the

y

-axis, which is

4

units. Therefore, the radius squared is

16

. Equating the two expressions for the radius squared gives

52-c = 16

, which solves to

c = 36

Group the

x

and

y

terms and move the constant to the right side of the equation.

(x^2 + 8x) + (y^2 - 12y) = -c

To prepare the equation for completing the square.

2

Complete the square for both the

x

and

y

groups by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear terms to both sides.

(x^2 + 8x + 16) + (y^2 - 12y + 36) = -c + 16 + 36

, which simplifies to

(x+4)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 52-c

.

To rewrite the equation in standard circle form

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

.

3

Determine the radius of the circle based on the geometric condition of being tangent to the

y

-axis.

The center of the circle is

(-4, 6)

. Since the circle is tangent to the

y

-axis (the line

x=0

), the radius

r

is the horizontal distance from the center to the

y

-axis, which is

|-4| = 4

.

A circle tangent to a vertical line has its radius equal to the horizontal distance from its center to that line.

4

Set the radius squared equal to the right side of the standard equation and solve for

c

.

r^2 = 4^2 = 16

. Setting

52 - c = 16

gives

c = 36

In standard form, the right-hand side represents

a 30-60-90 right triangle where

BE

is adjacent to the

60^\circ

angle and

EG

is opposite to it. Thus,

EG = BE \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} = 9

.

5

Calculate the total length of segment

GF

.

GF = 12

Since

G

,

E

, and

F

are collinear and

E

lies between

G

and

F

, the length of segment

GF

is the sum of

EG

and

EF

:

GF = 9 + 3 = 12

.
