Triangle W Z Y is cut by bisector Z X. The lengths of sides Z W and Z Y are congruent. ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°, what is the value of m?

m = 17

Explanation:

From the question we were given that

Triangle WZY is bisected by ZX; ZW = ZY

∠YXZ = (6m – 12)°

Based on the characteristics of the triangle, we see that triangle WYZ is an isosceles triangle (that is, triangle WXZ is equal to triangle YXZ)

<YXZ = <WXZ = 90°

Using ∠YXZ  = (6m – 12)°

We have:

(6m – 12)° =  90°

6m = 90 + 12 ⇒ 6m = 102

m = 102 ÷ 6 = 17

m = 17

We therefore see that m is equal to 17

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
