It's helpful to choose letters to represent the measures of these complementary angles.  Let x represent one and y the other.

What does "complementary angle" mean?  x + y = ??

Let x be the smaller angle.  First, we take "half the measure of the larger angle," or (y/2).  Then we subtract 6 degrees from this result (y/2).  The result is the xmaller angle, x.

Now you have two equations in x and y.  Solve for one of these angles, and then find the other.  Please show your work.

weeeeeb [17]

In 2000 Emily was 9 years old.

Given that in the year 2015 Emily was three times as old as Kaitlin while by the year 2021 Kaitlin will be half as old as Emily will be, to determine how old was Emily on the year 2000 the following calculation must be performed:

  • 2015 = E = 3K
  • 2021 = E = 2K  
  • 24 /// 8 --- 30 /// 14
  • 18 /// 6 --- 24 /// 12
  • 18/6 = 3
  • 24/12 = 2
  • 2015 = Emily was 24 years old
  • 24 - (2015 - 2000) = X
  • 24 - 15 = X
  • 9 = X

Therefore, in 2000 Emily was 9 years old.

The perimeter of a rectangle is
kondor19780726 [428]
<h3 /><h3>verified \: answer  \sqrt}</h3>

Equation for Perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2W + 2L

<h3>Defining the variables, let</h3>

<h3>Width = x</h3><h3>Length = 2x+3 (3 more than twice the width)</h3>

<h3>Plugging everything into the equation</h3>

<h3>30= 2(x) + 2(2x+3) using the distributive property,</h3>

<h3>30=2x+4x+6 combining like terms</h3>

<h3>30=6x+6 subtracting 6 from both sides,</h3>

<h3>24=6x divide both sides by 6</h3>

<h3>4=x This means that the width is 4 m.</h3>

<h3>To get the length, use the expression L=2x+3 and plug in x = 4 that was already solved for</h3>

<h3>L=2(4)+3</h3>

<h3>L=8+3 = 11 m</h3>

<h3>So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m.</h3>
