The two angles are a linear pair.
(Explanations down below!)
Linear pair angles must add up to 180 degrees. You can tell that the two angles add up to 180 degrees because they form a straight line (which is 180 degrees).
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. The two angles are not complementary because they do not form a 90 degree angle (right triangle, square in corner, like a L shape).
Vertical angles are opposite each other and are equal to one another. These angles are adjacent to each other and do not look similar.
Since p = x² - 7, you can substitute/plug in p for x² - 7
So:
(x² - 7)² - 4x² + 28 = 5
(p)² - 4x² + 28 = 5 You can factor out -4 from (-4x² + 28)
p² - 4(x² - 7) = 5 Plug in p
p² - 4p = 5 Subtract 5
p² - 4p - 5 = 0 Your answer is C
Answer:
1). x = 81
2). x = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
1). By applying geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,
56x = (18√14)²
56x = 4536
x = 
x = 81
2). By applying geometric mean theorem,
16x = (8√21)²
16x = 1344
x = 
x = 84
