There's no such thing as the "length"of an angle. 
But we know what you're getting at.

You have said that the angles are complementary.  If two angles are
complementary, then  their sum is 90 degrees, so we can take your
two angles and write:

                       <u>x</u>  (one angle) plus <u>(2x + 12)</u> (the other one) <u>= 90 degrees

</u>
<u />                          x + 2x + 12  =  90<u>

</u>
Subtract 12 from each side:     x + 2x  =  78

Add the x's on the left side:        3x      =  78

Divide each side by  3 :                x      =  26 degrees

One angle is 'x'  =  <em>26 degrees</em>

The other one is (2x + 12) = 52+12 = <em>64 degrees</em>

In trapezoid ABCD, points M and N are arbitrary points on bases AB and CD respectively. Find the area of the trapezoid, if area
mel-nik [20]

Remark

This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.

Solution

The Base of Triangle ABN is AB

The Base of Triangle CDM is CD

The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.

Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2

Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2

Now the Area of the trapezoid is

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD)     Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)

Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer

Which are the solutions of x2 = -5x + 8?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x  = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77,  -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.
