Find two numbers whose sum is 20 and difference is 1

1 answer:

6 0

Divide 20 by 2
20/2 = 10
Add and subtract 0.5* from 10
10 + 0.5 = 10.5
10 - 0.5 = 9.5
Those two numbers are your answer.

*The reason why we used 0.5 because the difference is 1, so divide 1 by 2.

Have an awesome day! :)

One of the same-side exterior angles formed by two lines and a transversal is equal to 1/6 of the right angle and is 11 times smaller than the other angle. Then the lines are parallel

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, One of the same-side exterior angles formed by two lines and a transversal is equal to 1/6 of the right angle and is 11 times smaller than the other angle.

We have to prove that the lines are parallel.

If they are parallel, sum of the described angles should be equal to 180 as they are same side exterior angles.

Now, the 1st angle will be 1/6 of right angle is given as:

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 1^{\text {st }} \text { angle }=\frac{1}{6} \times 90} \\\\ {\rightarrow 1^{\text {st }} \text { angle }=15 \text { degrees }}\end{array}$
