If the measure of an angle is 38 degrees, find the measure of its complement.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: 52 degrees

Explanation:
For this problem, we must know that the complement of an angle is the measure of which will make a 90 degree sum.

So in this problem we simply solve the equation as follows:

38 + x = 90
x = 90 - 38
x = 52

Hence the complement of 38 is 52.

Cheers.

Answer:

About 4.123

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal distance between the two points is 5-1 = 4 units. the vertical distance is 3-2=1 unit. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find that the length is:

$\sqrt{4^2+1^2}=\sqrt{17}\approx 4.123$

The fare for a taxi cab is $2.50 per passenger and $0.75 for each mile. A group of friends has $22.00

xeze [42]

For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the number of people to travel in the group

y: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled.

If friends only have $22 then we have the following inequality:

$2.50x + 0.75y \leq22$

Now, if there are three people in the group we have that $x = 3.$

$2.50 (3) + 0.75y \leq22\\7.5 + 0.75y \leq22\\0.75y \leq22-7.5\\0.75y \leq14.5\\y\leq \frac {14.5} {0.75}\\y\leq19.33$

The taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles.

On the other hand, if the group wants to travel 10 miles then we have to y = 10.

$2.50x + 0.75 (10) \leq22\\2.50x + 7.5 \leq22\\2.50x \leq22-7.5\\2.50x \leq14.5\\x\leq \frac {14.5} {2.50}\\x \leq5.8$

Thus, they could travel a maximum of 5 people.

ANswer:

$2.50x + 0.75y \leq22$

Traveling 3 people, the taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles

Traveling 10 miles, a maximum of 5 people can travel

Y=2x-1<br> y=1/2x+4<br> find the solution to the system equations

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

x=10/3 y=17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution to solve your equation. Plug in y=2x-1 into y=1/2x+4. This makes (2x-1)=1/2x+4. Simplify this to get 3/2x-1=4. Simplify it again to get 3/2x=5. No one likes fractions so multiply both sides by 2 to get 3x=10. Simplify this and get x=10/3. Plus 10/3 into one of the equations. You can pick anyone but I picked y=2x-1. Because you know x=10/3, you put y=2(10/3)-1. Simplify this and get y=20/3-1. Convert 1 into a fraction and get y=20/3-3/3. Simplify this and get y=17/3.

Therefore,

x=10/3 y=17/3
