Question
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
Summer should be a time of heading to the beach with friends and playing capture the flag in the yard until the streetlights come on. However, research suggests that it should also be a time for learning. Summer learning loss, sometimes referred to as the “summer slide,” is a loss of academic achievement students experience during the summer. Schools should implement summer reading programs to help combat this summer setback. Engaging summer reading programs help to foster lifelong readers. Reading over the summer helps children keep their literacy skills up, and with a broader selection of books, the program can pique the interest of reluctant readers.

The paragraph discusses summer activities and introduces the concept of "summer learning loss" or "the summer slide," which suggests a decline in academic achievements during the summer break. It then advocates for the implementation of summer reading programs in schools as a way to counter this academic decline. The author highlights the positive effects of these reading programs, such as fostering lifelong readers and maintaining literacy skills, especially for those who may be reluctant to read.
Based on this information, the author's purpose in writing this paragraph is:
to show the benefits of summer reading programs in schools
Hence, the correct response is:
to show the benefits of summer reading programs in schools

What is the measure of the exterior angle x
To calculate the measure of an exterior angle, like angle x, when you're given two interior angles of a triangle, you exploit the property that states the sum of the measures of the interior angles and the exterior angle at a given vertex is equal to 180 degrees. In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees.
Assuming you're referring to a standard triangle where 37 and 42 represent the measures of two of its interior angles, you first need to find the measure of the third interior angle of the triangle by subtracting the given angles from 180:
180 - 37 - 42 = 101 degrees
This result is the measure of the third interior angle of the triangle. To find the measure of an exterior angle adjacent to this interior angle, you simply subtract the interior angle from 180 degrees:
180 - 101 = 79 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the exterior angle x is 79 degrees.
