The answer is 36°.

Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90°.

Let angles be x and y.
x + y = 90°
x : y = 2 : 3
_____
3 * x = 2 * y
3x = 2y
x + y = 90°
_____
x = 2/3*y
x + y = 90°
2/3y + y = 90°
2/3y + 3/3y = 90°
5/3y = 90°
5y = 90° * 3
5y = 270°
y = 54°

x + 54° = 90° 
x = 90° - 54°
x = 36°

The smaller angle is 36°

A new library, L, is to be built at some point along a straight road, R, such that its distance from train station, T, is the sh
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Coordinates of the new library is (150, 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the shortest possible distance means that line from point T to point R has to be perpendicular.

Now, the equation of R is given as;

y = x - 80 - - - (1)

For T to be perpendicular, it means it will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of line R.

Thus, slope of T is -1/1 = - 1

Thus, using line - slope intercept of y = mx + c, we can find equation of T as;

140 = -1(80) + c

140 = -80 + c

c = 140 + 80

c = 220

Thus, equation is;

y = -x + 220 - - - (eq 2)

Adding equation 1 to equation 2,we have;

y + y = 220 - 80

2y = 140

y = 140/2

y = 70

Putting 70 for y in eq 1 gives;

70 = x - 80

x = 70 + 80

x = 150

Thus;

Coordinate of the new library is (150, 70)

If ΔABC ≅ ΔEDF where the coordinates of A(0, 2), B(2, 4), and C(2, −1), what is the measure of DF?
allsm [11]

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Triangle ABC is congruent to EDF it mean that the sides are the same so the length of BC is congruent to the length of DF:

distance formula:

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

d = √(2 - 2)^2 + (-1 - 4)^2

d = √(0)^2 + (-5)^2

d = √0 + 25

d = √25

d = 5

How do u do #22? Plz show me how u did it
hram777 [196]
3x-y=6, in order to be able to graph this you would have to change the equation to y=, so you need to subtract 3x from that side making it -y=-3x+6, now you need to y positive, so divide both sides by -1, thus making the equation look like y=3x-6, now if you can't plug this into a calculator to see what it would look like then you need to know what y=mx+b means. y is the equation you want to graph obviously, m = the slope, so our slope in this case would be -3, and b = our y intercept, so it would be (0,-6), so plot (0,-6) and use the slope to plot the rest of the points, some other points in this line should include (2,0), (-1,-9) and (4,6), just to name a few. Hope this helps.

Karen batting average was 0.444 She was at bat 45 times.how many hits did she get?
Simora [160]
<span>Karen got an average of 0.444 hits out of 45 bats.
We need to find the number of hits did Karen got.
=> 45 bats all in all
=> 0.444 average hits
x = how many hit did she get
Now, let’s multiply the total bats to Karen’s average hit:
=> 45 x 0.444 …. (repeating decimals)
=>  20
Therefore, Karen hit 20 times out of 45 bats
Let’s check our answer:
=> 20 / 45
=> 0.44444…. (repeating decimals)

</span>
