(SAT prep) find the value of x.

140 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so angle in = angle out. This means there are 2 20 degree angles and the total angle of this line is 180 degrees and so 180 - 40 = 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel and intersected by a transversal, the alternate corresponding angles are supplementary (their sums equal 180). In the picture, the two parallel lines are intersected by the vertical lines. Then, one of the angles formed intersected again. This means that the sum of the two smaller angles, plus the alternate exterior angle is equal to 180. Hence the following equation can be formed;

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

that is the sum

step-by-step explanation:

there are no other answers without knowing the variables values
