Every triangle in the figure at right is equilateral. what is the measure of ∠age?

step:

1. use the corollaries of the isosceles triangle theorem. each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 60° 2. use those two angles to find m∠age.

problem:
m angle agf =
m angle fge =
m angle age = m angle agf + m angle fge
= __ + __

The average hourly earnings for a construction worker is projected to be $24.50 in 2012. jason wants to join the construction work force after he graduates in 2012. his friend tells him that average hourly earnings for construction workers will rise by 2% from 2009 to 2012. based on the data below, assuming that the projected hourly earnings are correct, is jason’s friend’s statement accurate? construction industry - average hourly earnings, 2000-2009 a. his friend’s statement is accurate. the average hourly earnings will increase by 2%. b. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the percent increase will be more than 2% c. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the percent increase will be less than 2% d. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the average hourly earnings will decrease

Use the squared identities to simplify sin^2x cos^2x

Talia grouped the terms and factored out the gcf of the groups of the polynomial 15x2 – 3x – 20x + 4. her work is shown below. (15x2 – 3x) + (–20x + 4) 3x(5x – 1) + 4(–5x + 1) talia noticed that she does not have a common factor. what should she do?
