If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Call one of the angles x. This means that its complement is 90 - x degrees. But the difference in their measures is 12 degrees.

Answer:

51° and 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90°

If we let one angle = x

Then the other angle is ( 90 - x)

Since the difference between the two angles is 12°

⇒ x - (90 - x) = 12

x - 90 + x = 12

2x -90 = 12

2x = 102

x = 102/2

x = 51°

So, one of the angle is 51°

The other angle = 90 - x = 90 - 51 = 39°

What is the perimeter of rectangle ABCDABCD? (1) The longer side of the rectangle is 2 meters shorter than its diagonal (2) The

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

(1) P=4a+4

(2) P=2a+4 $\sqrt{42}$ a

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, let us call longer side b, shorter side a and diagonal d. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*(a+b). Let us write this formula as P=2*(a+b)

In (1) it is stated that b=a+2. Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is P=2*(a+b). In terms of b, let us write (a+2). So P=2*(a+a+2)=4a+4.

In (2) it is stated that d/a=13 or d=13a. From Pythagorean theorem d^2=a^2+b^2. Hence, b^2=168a^2 or b=2 $\sqrt{42}$ a. Finally, P=2*(a+b)=2*(a+2 $\sqrt{42}$ a)=2a+4 $\sqrt{42}$ a

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = (4√2)² + (4√2)²

x² = 32 + 32

x² = 64

x = √64

$22,000 divided by 18%

slavikrds [6]

18% = 18/100 = 0,18

22000/0,18 = 22000/(18/100) = (22000 . 100)/18 = 1100000/9 = 122222,2222...

So $22,000 divided by 18% is equal to $122.222,22

Point that satisfies

Kobotan [32]

Answer: D. (4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following expression:

$y\leq x^{2}-3x+2$

3. To find the point that satifies the expression shown above, you only need to substitute each one of them into the expression, as you can see below:

A. $3\leq 3^{2}-3(3)+2\\3\leq 2$ (This is not true)

B. $2\leq 2^{2}-3(2)+2\\2\leq 0$ (This is not true)

C. $1\leq 1^{2}-3(1)+2\\1\leq 0$ (This is not true)

D. $4\leq 4^{2}-3(4)+2\\4\leq 6$ (This is true)

4. Therefore, the correct answer is the option D, which is: (4,4)
