In the figure below, angle y and angle x form vertical angles. Angle x forms a straight line with the 50° angle and the 40° angle. Write and solve an equation to determine the measure of angle y.

The answer is ""

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the image file of the angle in the attachment.

Each line is 180° straight because the -axis of the 40° and 50° angles is a straight line:  

Use this formula and isolate x.

Since the two are vertical angles, they have the same measurement. These have the same measurement.  If and , then  

you need to give us more information since we can't answer

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
