<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3><em>x=45degrees</em></h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the angle to be solved be x

Let the supplement/compliment by y

x+y=90 Complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees.

x+3y=180 Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, the other angle is thrice the other compliment.

Evaluating this as a system:

x+y=90 Isolate x:

x=90−y Input into the other equation:

(90−y)+3y=180 Combine like terms, isolate y and its coefficients:

2y=90 Isolate y

y=45 Input into the first equation:

x+45=90 Isolate x:

x=45degrees

3 On a coordinate grid, the location of a lighthouse is at L, and the location of a buoy is at B. At noon, a ship is at the midp

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula, $M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ , we can find the coordinates that represents the position of the ship at noon.

Let $L(-4, 7) = (x_1, y_1)$ (given on the coordinate plane)

$B(5, -3) = (x_2, y_2)$ (given also)

Plug in the values into the formula and solve as follows:

$M(\frac{-4 + 5}{2}, \frac{7 +(-3)}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{7 - 3}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

Position of the ship at noon is best represented at $(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

aivan3 [116]

For the answer to the question above asking to p<span>rove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle,
</span>A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse (c²) . The hypotenuse (c²)<span> is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.

</span>⇒ α² + β² = c²
<span>
"</span>In any right triangle ( 90° angle) <span>, the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
</span>
For example: Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are 3 inches and 4 inches.
c2 = a2+ b2
c2 = 32+ 42
c2 = 9+16
c2 = 15
c = sqrt25
c=5
