Answer:

They cannot. They have to be obtuse and acute.

Let's assume that both angles are, in fact, obtuse supplements. We know that supplementary angles must add up to 180°. We also know by definition that obtuse angles are greater than 90°. If we were to take the two supplementary, obtuse angles, ∡A=90+x and ∡B=90+y, with x and y equaling positive real numbers, then we should be able to say that 180=m∡A+mB, or 180=90+x+90+y. By simplifying we get that 180=180+x+y. Simplify further and you get that 0=x+y. If we define x in terms of y, then x= -y. If we define y in terms of x, then y= -x. Because either x or y must be negative to make this statement true, one of the angle measures must be less than 90. If one of the angles must be less than 90 while the other is greater than 90, then one angle MUST be acute if the other is obtuse in order for them to be supplements of each other.

Find the missing length of the right triangle.<br> a<br> 21<br> 35
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem and solve for a:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 21² = 35²

a² + 441 = 1225

a² = 784

a = 28

So, the missing length is 28.

If I add 2 tablespoons of sugar to each cup of coffee, what is the ratio of sugar to coffee?
Gemiola [76]
For any amount of pure Coffee (no milk), you can put 39 grams of sugar or nearly 10 teaspoons of sugar, as Coffee has no sugar in it. 30ml is a standard espresso size so to be equivalent per ml of liquid you would need to put 3.1 grams of sugar which is less than a teaspoon.

The mean incubation time of fertilized eggs is 19 days. Suppose the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the incubation times are approximately normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = incubation times of fertilized eggs in days

µ = mean incubation time

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 19 days

σ = 1 day

a) For the 20th percentile for incubation times, it means that 20% of the incubation times are below or even equal to 19 days(on the left side). We would determine the z score corresponding to 20%(20/100 = 0.2)

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is - 0.84

Therefore,

- 0.84 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 0.84 + 19 = 18.16

b) for the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs, the probability is 97% that the incubation times lie below and above 19 days. Thus, we would determine 2 z values. From the normal distribution table, the two z values corresponding to 0.97 are

1.89 and - 1.89

For z = 1.89,

1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = 1.89 + 19 = 20.89 days

For z = - 1.89,

- 1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 1.89 + 19 = 17.11 days

the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs are

17.11 days and 20.89 days
