Answer:
The measure of each angle will be 10° and 170°.
Step-by-step explanation:
A supplementary angle refers to an angle that has the sum to be equal to 180°.
Let the small angle be represented by x
Therefore, the big angle will be: = 17 × x = 17x
Therefore, the value of both angles will be:
x + 17x = 180
18x = 180
Divide both side by 18
18x/18 = 180/18
x = 10
Therefore, the bigger angle will be:
17x = 17 × 10 = 170
Therefore, the angles are 10° and 170°
Answer:
B 10.8 or
A 9.2 depending on what side of the triangle is "x".
Step-by-step explanation:
we cannot see the triangle and which side is which. you forgot to show us the picture (or describe it in more detail).
but I assume that "x" would be the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the right triangle, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).
then by using Pythagoras
c² = a² + b²
=>
x² = 10² + 4² = 116
x = sqrt(116) = 10.8
but if x is any of the other sides (and not the Hypotenuse), then you need to adapt the calculation.
for example, if the Hypotenuse is the side with 10, then Pythagoras' formula would look like this
10² = x² + 4²
x² = 10² - 4² = 84
x = sqrt(84) = 9.2 (and answer A would be correct).
or if the Hypotenuse is the side with 4, then
4² = x² + 10²
x² = 4² - 10² = -84
x = sqrt(-84)
and that did not make any sense for real distances. so, this configuration is actually impossible for a right triangle.
Answer:
Slope of PV = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the vertices of the given triangle PSV,
P → (2, 4)
S → (3, 4)
V → (3, 0)
Slope of the segment between two points 
and 
is given by,
Slope = 
Therefore, slope of segment PV will be,
Slope = 
= -4
Slope of PV = -4
A. The answer is 2. It does not matter what x is.
