If m< BCD = 54, find m< BAC

m∠BAC = 27°

Solution:

ABCD is a quadrilateral.

AB and CD are parallel lines.

Given m∠BCD = 54°

AC bisect ∠BCD.

m∠DCA + m∠CAB = m∠BCD

m∠DCA + m∠DCA = 54°   (since ∠ACB = ∠DCA)

2 m∠DCA  = 54°

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

m∠DCA  = 27°

AB and CD are parallel lines and AC is the transversal.

If two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.

m∠BAC = m∠DCA

m∠BAC = 27°

Hence m∠BAC = 27°.

i think c. but don't trust it.

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
