It is known that Ray AP bisects angle CAT. If m<CAT = 5x+17 and m<PAT = 3x-4, then determine the value of x.​

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ray AP divides angle CAT, it implies that

\angle CAT=\angle CAP+\angle PAT

Also, \angle CAP = \angle PAT

This leads to, \angle CAT=2\angle PAT

As stated,

\angle CAT = 5x+17 \ \text{and}\ \text{PAT}=3x-4

Consequently,

5x+17=2(3x-4)\\\\5x+17=6x-8

Grouping similar terms together,

5x-6x=-8-17\\\\-x=-25\\\\x=25

Thus, x is 25.

Lines AB and CD and are parallel. Find the measures of the three angles in triangle ABF.
Svet_ta [9500]

Response:    ∠B = 42°   ∠A = 23°  ∠F = 115°

Detailed explanation:

∠B is congruent to ∠C  alternate interior angles  42°

  ∠CDF is supplementary to ∠CDE,

thus m∠CDF = 23°  and ∠FAB is congruent to ∠CDF therefore m∠FAB= 23°

also ∠A is congruent to ∠CDE  corresponding angles  157° ∠FAB is supplementary to ∠A

which leads to 180 - 157 = 23 giving m∠FAB

The sum of angles in a triangle amounts to 180°, so m∠AFB = 180 -(23 +42)

This results in 180- 65 = 115 = m∠F

Two positive, consecutive, odd integers have a product of 143. Complete the equation to represent finding x, the greater integer
zzz [9080]

Answer: 11, 13

Explanation:

We need to identify two consecutive integers whose product is 143. If we let x represent the larger of the two integers, the smaller integer can be expressed as (x-2). Their product equals 143, which gives us

x(x-2)=143

By solving the equation:

x^2 -2x -143 =0

this results in a second-order equation with two real roots: x=13 and x=-11. We disregard the negative outcome, leaving us with x=13. Hence, the two numbers are

x=13

x=13-2=11

A space probe is controlled by 7 different instructions from the ground. the probabilities of sending these instructions vary -
Zina [9171]
The space probe must be able to recognize 7 distinct command types.
The number of combinations that can be encoded using n bits is 2^n. Thus, the minimum number of bits required to encode at least 7 different commands would be:

2^n > 7
2^n > 2^2.80
n > 2.80
n=3

A minimum of 3 bits is required
