Angle Addition Property

In this article we are going to discuss Angle Addition Property , the terms related to Angle Addition Property and some solved problems on Angle Addition Property .

Introduction to angle addition property :

The angle addition postulate states that if a point is within an angle and you add the two angles that are made by drawing a line through the point that the total will equal the large angle. ...

Angle Addition Property


Angle Addition Property or postulate says that if there is a line segment SV lies in the interior of the angle TSR then Angle TSV + Angle VSR = Angle TSR

For example if Angle TSR = 40 degree and Angle TSV = 15 degree then the other angle will be of 25 degree.

The same property can be applied if there are two or more lines lies in the interior of an angle.

There are some important terms that are associated with Angle Addition Property

If two or more angle sums to 90 degree they are called complementary angles.

Complementary angle

If two or more angles are lies in a straight line then definitely sums to 180 degree and called Supplementary Angle.

Supplementary angle

Two or more angles sharing same side are called Adjacent Angles.

Angle B = 60 degree

Problem Based on Angle Addition Property.

Lets learn more about Angle Addition Property

Problem

Suppose Angle CAD is a complementary angle
‹CAB = 40 degree

‹EAD = 40 degree

‹BAE =  ?

Solution Angle CAB + Angle EAD + Angle BAE = Angle CAD
40 degree +40 degree + Angle BAE = 90
Angle BAE = 10 degree
What if I remove the line AB
calculate ‹CAE

Solution

‹CAE = 50 degree (‹CAB + ‹ BAE)

What if the three of the angle are of equal

Solution :Suppose each angle = x degree
X+x+x = 90
3x= 90
x= 30 degree
If Angle EAD is thrice to angle CAB

Angle BAE is 10 more to Angle CAB

Measure each angle

Let Angle CAB = x degree
Angle BAE = x+10 degree
Angle EAD = 3x
x+x+10+3x = 90
5x+10= 90
5x=80
x=16
Therefore Angle CAB ,BAE ,EAD are 16 ,26 ,48 degree respectively.

Determine the Slope and Y Intercept

Slope:

The slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a line, the slope m of the line is

determine the slope and y intercept


Y intercept:

In the coordinate system, the y intercept of a line is a point at which the line cuts the Y-axis. The y-intercept of a line is denoted as (0, y)

determine the slope and y intercept


Example Problems to Determine the Slope and Y Intercept:

Example problem 1:

Determine the slope and y intercept of y = 7x - 12

Solution:

Step 1: Given equation

y = 7x - 12

Step 2: The slope intercept form of a line equation is given by

y = mx + b

Where,

m → slope

b → y intercept

Step 3: Compare the given equation with the slope intercept form

By comparing the given equation with the slope intercept form, we get

m = 7     and b = - 12

Step 4: Solution

Therefore,  Slope = 7

y intercept = - 12

Example problem 2:

Determine the slope and y intercept of 2x - 5y = 4

Solution:

Step 1: Given equation

2x - 5y = 4 ................... (1)

Step 2: Subtract 2x on both sides of the equation 2x - 5y = 4

2x - 5y - 2x  = 4 - 2x

- 5y = 4 - 2x

Step 3: Divide by (-5) on both sides of the equation

Therefore,

y = `2/5` x - `4/5`

y = 0.4x - 0.8 ............. (2)

Step 4: The slope intercept form of a line equation is given by

y = mx + b

Where,

m → slope

b → y intercept

Step 5: Compare the equation (2) with the slope intercept form of a line equation

By comparing the equation (2) with the slope intercept form, we get

m = 0.4     and b = - 0.8

Step 6: Solution

Therefore,  Slope = 0.4

y intercept = - 0.8

Example problem 3:

Determine the slope and y intercept of 9x + 3y = 0

Solution:

Step 1: Given equation

9x + 3y = 0 ............ (1)

Step 2: Subtract 9x on both sides of the equation 9x + 3y = 0

9x + 3y - 9x = - 9x

3y = - 9x

Step 3: Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation

Therefore,

y = - 3x ............... (2)

Step 2: The slope intercept form of a line equation is given by

y = mx + b

Where,

m → slope

b → y intercept

Step 3: Compare the equation (2) with the slope intercept form of a line equation

By comparing the equation (2) with the slope intercept form, we get

m = - 3     and b = 0

Step 4: Solution

Therefore,  Slope = - 3

y intercept = 0

Practice Problems to Determine the Slope and Y Intercept:

1) Determine the slope and y intercept of y = 4x - 13

2) Determine the slope and y intercept of 5x + y = 5

3) Determine the slope and y intercept of 3/2 + 2y = 4

Solutions:

1) Slope = 4; y intercept = - 13

2) Slope = - 5; y intercept = 5

3) Slope = -0.75; y intercept = 2

Non Consecutive Vertices

Non consecutive vertices mean the vertices which are not in the adjacent. Here we are going to learn about the non consecutive vertices of the planes. Generally we can say opposite vertices of the polygons are called non consecutive vertices. We will see some examples for non consecutive vertices. This will help us to understand the non consecutive vertices.  Basically a vertex in a polygon refers the intersection point of two sides.

Non Consecutive Vertices:

Basically non consecutive vertices of a polygon mean the vertex which does not lies next to the other. In other words we can say the opposite vertices or the other vertices which is not lies very next to the vertex. The distance between the two vertices will give us the height or width of the polygon. If we find the distance we can calculate the area and volume of the polygon.

If we are having a polygon with n number of vertices then each polygons vertex is having n – 3 non consecutive vertices. For example if we take a square it is having 4 sides. So for each vertex it has n – 3 = 4 – 3 = 1 non consecutive vertices. We can calculate the diagonals of the square using the non consecutive vertices.

non consecutive vertices


Examples for Non Consecutive Vertices:


Example 1 for non consecutive vertices:

Find the number of non consecutive vertices in the following polygon.

non consecutive vertices - 1

Solution:

In the above diagram we are having the number of sides as 6.

We know for a single vertex we have n – 3 numbers of vertices.

So for a six vertices we have 6 (n – 3) vertices = 6 (6 – 3) = 6 x 3 =18 non consecutive vertices.


Example 2 for non consecutive vertices:

Find the number of non consecutive vertices in the following polygon.

non consecutive vertices - 2

Solution:

In the above diagram we are having the number of sides as 8.

We know for a single vertex we have n – 3 numbers of vertices.

So for a six vertices we have 8 (n – 3) vertices = 8 (8 – 3) = 8 x 5 =40 non consecutive vertices.

Negative Cosine Graph

Basically if we draw the cosine graph mean the graph will like a normal graph. Negative cosine graph is nothing but the negative sign in front of the cos.  A negative cosine equation will be like the following

Y = - a cos (bx +c)

Hare – sign is in front of the cosine graph. If we draw the negative cosine it will produce the reflection about the x – axis. So the negative cosine graph will be opposite to the positive graph.

Having problem with Cosine Law Read my upcoming post, i will try to help you.

Comparison between Positive and Negative Cosine Graphs:

Let us any cosine function y = ± Cos ((2πx + 3))

Solution:

We want to draw the graph for both positive and negative cosine function.

Here phase shift = -c / b = -3 / 2π = -`1.5 / pi`

Period = 2π / b = 2π / 2π = 1

So the positive cosine graph will be like the following



And the negative cosine graph will be like the following



To know the difference we have to combine these two graphs. So we get



From the above we know the positive cosine graph will reflect the negative cosine graph. Here the red line graph indicates positive cosine graph and the black line graph indicates the negative cosine graph.

Example for Negative Cosine Graph:

Example 1:

Draw the graph for the following function y = - 5 Cos x

Solution:

Here the amplitude is 5 and this is having a negative sign with it. So it is a negative cosine graph. Here the period is 2π and there is no  phase shift. So the graph will be



Example 2:

Draw the graph for the following function y = - 0.5 Cos (π x / 6)

Solution:

Here the amplitude is 0.5 and this is having a negative sign with it. So it is a negative cosine graph. Here the period is 2π / (π / 6) = 12 and there is no phase shift. So the graph will be

Percent Return Formula

In math, how much of parts done in every hundred is called as percents. The percents are represented by the symbol ‘%’. In other words, how much of value is noted out of hundred in experiments. The formula is returned with 100. Now we are going to see about percent return formula.

Explanations for Percents Return Formula in Math

Percents return formula:
                               The percents are represented as fraction with percentage symbol that is 32/100%. We can denote the percents in whole number also like 32%.T he formula for returns the percents are P = ( observed value / total value) x 100.   

How to return the percents using formula:
                             The formula for percents is divide the observed value and total value. Then multiply the 100 with that resultant value. Now, we can say this value is percents with symbol ‘%’. Sometimes, the formula returns the decimal value.   
                
How to returns the fraction into decimal value:
                               We can represent the percent value in fraction and if there is any possible, we can simplify the fraction. Then divide the numerator value with denominator value.

More about Percents Returns Formula

Example problems for percents return formula in math:

Problem 1: Return the percent value using formula for given expression.

The student got the marks 140 out of 200. What is the percent value of student?

Answer:

The percent return formula is P = (observed value / total value) x 100.
The observed value is 140.
Return the percent as (140/200) x 100 = 0.7 x 100 = 70%.
Therefore, the formula returns the percent value as 70%.

Problem 2: Return the percent value using formula for given expression.

The fruit seller has 1650 apples out of 300 fruits. What is the percent value of apple?

Answer:

The percent return formula is P = (observed value / total value) x 100.
The observed value is 165.
Return the percent as (165/300) x 100 = 0.55 x 100 = 55%.
Therefore, the formula returns the percent value as 55%.
