Answer:

The African elephant weighs <u>111.5 tons</u> less than a blue whale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Animal                         Weight(pounds)

African Elephant            15,000

Blue Whale                   238,000

Now, to find the weight of how more tons does a blue whale weigh than an African elephant.

As given, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.

So, to convert the weight from pound to tons by dividing:

African elephant =15000\div 2000=7.5\ tons.

Blue whale =238000\div 2000=119\ tons.

Now, to get the weight of how more tons is blue whale weigh than an African elephant we subtract:

Blue\ whale - African\ elephant

=119 tons-7.5tons

=111.5\ tons

Therefore, the African elephant weighs 111.5 tons less than a blue whale.

In the diagram, what is mAngleVSR?
katovenus [111]

The  mAngleVSR   m Angle VSR  is  mathematically given as

\theta= 80°

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is mAngleVSR?</h3>

Generally, Draw two lines: one that connects the points R, S, and U, and another that connects the points V, S, and T. (see attached diagram). At point S, these lines come together to create four angles, which are denoted by the letters RSV, VSU, UST, and TSR respectively.

The angles VSU and RST are both considered to be vertical angles, as are the angles RSV and UST. Vertical angles are equivalent, therefore

m∠VSU = m∠RST = 100°

m∠RSV = m∠UST

In conclusion, Angles RSV and VSU are considered supplementary angles since their sum is equal to 180 degrees. Som

m∠RSV = 180° - m∠VSU =180° - 100° = 80°

Angle RSV is the same as angle VSR (the name of the angle may be read either from the right to the left or from the left to the right).
