Answer:

B) A linear pairs consists of supplementary angles

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's see the definition of linear pair.

The two adjacent angles add up to 180° (supplementary) is called linear pair.

Example:

If ∠A and ∠B said to be linear pair, then they must be adjacent angles and add up to 180 degrees.

∠A + ∠B = 180°

From the definition, we can find the answer.

A) in correct because complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

B) Correct (A linear pair consists of supplementary angles)

C) In correct because the pair consists of adjacent angles

D) In correct because vertical angles is nothing but 90°

Craig grades 9 test every 22 minutes if craig has 63 test to grade how long will it take him

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The answer would be 156 min or 2h and 32 min, the way you would find it is by dividing 63 by 9 and that would get you 7, then you multiply 7 by 22 resulting in 156, then you would simplify it down to 2hours and 32 minutes.

The angles of depression of two ships from the top of the light house are 45° and 30° towards east. If the ships are 200 m apart

azamat

Answer:

273 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

See image attached for the diagram I used to represent this scenario.

The distance between the ships, at angles 30 and 45, is 200 meters. The distance between the left ship and the lighthouse is x meters.

We can use trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. We can use the tangent ratio $\big{(} \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \big{)}$ to create an equation with the two angles.

$\displaystyle \text{tan(45)} = \frac{h}{x}$
$\displaystyle \text{tan(30)} = \frac{h}{x+200} }$

Let's take these two equations and solve for x in both of them.

<h2> $\textbf{Equation I}$ </h2>

$\displaystyle \text{tan(45)} = \frac{h}{x}$

tan(45) = 1, so we can rewrite this equation.

$\displaystyle 1=\frac{h}{x}$

Multiply x to both sides of the equation.

$\displaystyle x = h$

<h2> $\textbf{Equation II}$ </h2>

$\displaystyle \text{tan(30)} = \frac{h}{x+200} }$

Multiply x + 200 to both sides and divide h by tan(30).

$\displaystyle \text{x + 200} = \frac{h}{\text{tan (30)}}$

Subtract 200 from both sides of the equation.

$\displaystyle \text{x} = \frac{h}{\text{tan (30)}} - 200$

Simplify h/tan(30).

$x=\sqrt{3}h - 200$

<h2> $\textbf{Equation I = Equation II}$ </h2>

Take Equation I and Equation II and set them equal to each other.

$h=\sqrt{3}h-200$

Subtract √3 h from both sides of the equation.

$h-\sqrt{3}h=-200$

Factor h from the left side of the equation.

$h(1-\sqrt{3}) =-200$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1 - √3.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200}{1-\sqrt{3} }$

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200}{1-\sqrt{3} } \big{(} \frac{1+\sqrt{3} }{1+\sqrt{3}} \big{)}$
$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200+200\sqrt{3} }{1-3}$
$\displaystyle h =\frac{-200+200\sqrt{3} }{-2}$
