Answer:

Without the plants and algae trap and stabilize sediment, it erodes. As coral reefs degrade, habitat for marine life is lost and nearby coastlines become more susceptible to storms, waves and erosion. Corals used to form barriers to protect the shoreline from waves and storms. Without the coral reef structure buffer zones, the shorelines are more susceptible to storms, and floods, property damage, and wind erosion. The seafloor itself erodes too. This means that the seas along those coasts have become unexpectedly deep.

one angle of a triangle measures 125 degrees the other two angles are in a ratio of 4:7. what are the measures of the two angles
Ilya [14]
Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
180 - 125 = 55
Add the ratios 4+7 = 11
Divide the left over angels by the ratio: 55/11 = 5
Now multiply 5 by each side of the ratio:
4:7
4*5 = 20
7*5 = 35

So the 2 angles are 20 and 35 degrees.

To check, you can add up all the angels : 20 + 35 + 125 = 180
So we know 20 and 35 is correct because it adds up to 180 degrees :)
