An angle measured 10 degrees less than the measure of its complementary angle. Find the measure of both angles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of one angle in degrees

y ----> the measure of the complementary angle in degrees

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

so

x+y=90 ----> equation A

we have that

x=y-10 ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(y-10)+y=90\\2y-10=90\\2y=100\\y=50

Find the value of x

x=50-10=40

therefore

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

Dahasolnce [82]

Using the expected value, it is found that the mean of the distribution equals $0.1.

  • The expected value, which is the mean of the distribution, is given by <u>each outcome multiplied by it's probability</u>.

The probabilities of <u>each outcome</u> are:

  • .0000001 probability of earning $1,000,000.
  • .9999999 probability of earning $0.

Thus, the mean is given by:

E(Y) = 0.0000001(1000000) + 0.9999999(0) = 0.1

Thus showing that the expected value is $0.1.

Choice B) Commutative Property is the answer

The commutative property of addition says that we can add two numbers in any order. For example: 2+3 = 5 and 3+2 = 5.

In general, the rule can be written as x+y = y+x. The x and y are simply placeholders for numbers. You can think of them as empty boxes to write a number inside. In this case, we have 7.2 for one of the boxes and -5.5 as the other value in the other box.

Looking for right triangle side a is 1 inch long,and side b is 2 inches long. What is the length of side c?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

In this situation a = 1, b = 2

1^{2} + 2^{2}  = c^{2}

1 + 4 = c^{2}

5 = c^{2}

c = \sqrt{5}

This is an important mathematical theorem to know. It's called the Pythagorean Theorem.
