Based on the definition of complementary angles, the two angles are: 49.4° and 40.6°.

<h3>What are Complementary Angles?</h3>

Angles that are complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.

Let the angle be represented as x

Complement of the angle = (90 - x)

Therefore, we would have:

x = (90 - x) + 8.8

x = 90 - x + 8.8

x = 98.8 - x

x + x = 98.8

2x = 98.8

x = 98.8/2

x = 49.4°

The second angle would be: 90 - 49.4 = 40.6°

The angles are 49.4° and 40.6°.

He mathematics department of a college has 6 male professors, 8 female professors, 14 male teaching assistants, and 7 female

irinina [24]

Total number of people in the department = 6 + 8 + 14 + 7 = 35
Total males = 6 + 14 = 20
Total female professor = 8
Total males or professor = 20 + 8 = 28

$P(\text {male or professor}) = \dfrac{28}{35} = \dfrac{4}{5}$

$\boxed {\boxed {\text {Answer: P(male or professor) = }\dfrac{4}{5} }}$

Help clear the fractions I need more help

marishachu [46]

Answer:

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ x - 5 = $\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 4 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

6x - 40 = 3 ( add 40 to both sides )

6x = 43 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

The altitude of a triangle is 2 m longer than its base. What are the dimensions of the altitude and the base if thearea of the t

HACTEHA [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x m.

Therefore, altitude =( x + 2)m

$area \: of \: \triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude \\ \\ 40 = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times (x + 2) \\ \\ 80 = {x }^{2} +2x \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 80 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 10x - 8x - 80 \\ x(x + 10) - 8(x + 10) = 0\\ (x + 10)(x - 8) = 0 \\ x + 10 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 8 = 0 \\ x = - 10 \: \: or \: \: x = 8 \\ base \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ x \neq - 10 \\ x = 8 \\ x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 \\$

Therefore

Altitude = 10 m

Base = 8 m
