The coefficient of 'y' in her simplified answer is 10.
The value of b is 61°.
you solve by doing this:
add up the two given angles, 58° and 61° to get 119°. then you subtract from 180° to get 61.
The first answer is 5,but i don't know about the second one. (sorry)
When squaring a number, you multiply the number by itself. Ex- 4squared would be 16. 4 x 4 = 16. Ex- 8squared would be 64.
8 x 8 = 64
So first of all you can find x and y because all triangles have interior angles that add up to 180 degrees.
X= 10 degrees
Y= 60 degrees
Looking at the options, we see that the first statement is true. And if the angles are not equal, the triangles are not able to be similar.
