2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.

For example if m(P) = 41° and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.

Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:

(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°

5x-10°=90°

5x=100°

x=20°

Thus

m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°

m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°

This is simple proportions, because of their similarity:

$\frac{13}{38.6} = \frac{10}{x}$

$x = \frac{386}{13}$

Which circles have an area of 36pift2?

san4es73 [151]

Area=pi times radius^2
area=36pi
36pi=pi times radius^2
divide both sides by pi
36=radius^2
square root both sides
6=radius

2radius=diameter
2 times 6=12
radius=6
diamater=12

the answers area A and D
(if you know your radius and diameter, you would know that diameter is 2 times radius and you could eliminate 2 choices imedietly (B and C))

The following sets of numbers are possible side lengths of a triangle. Which of the following sets forms a Pythagorean triple?

sveta [45]

A Pythagorean triple means that when you do Pythagorean theorem, a, b and c will all be integer values. The largest number will always be put in for the 'c'.
Letter B is a Pythagorean triple.
28^2 + 45^2 = 53^2
784 + 2025 ?=? 2809
2809 = 2809
