Find the measure of angle E

E = 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle B = 116°

So ABC = 180° - 116°

= 64°

In triangle ABC , AC = BC ( given )

So angle BAC = angle ABC = 64° ( Opposite angle of two same sides of a triangle are equal )

According to Angle Sum Property of a Triangle ,

BAC + ABC + ACB = 180°

=> ACB + 64° + 64° = 180°

=> ACB = 180° - 128°

= 52°

Also , angle ACB = angle ECD = 52° ( Vertical Opposite Angles are equal )

In triangle ECD ,

EC = ED ( given )

So, angle ECD = angle EDC = 52° ( Opposite angle of two same sides of a triangle are equal )

According to Angle Sum Property of a Triangle ,

ECD + EDC + CED = 180°

=> 52° + 52° + CED = 180°

=> CED = 180° - 104°

= 76°

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.
