The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 8:1. how many degrees are in the larger angle?

1 answer:

4 0

Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.

$V=\pi r^{2}h\\ 480.66=\pi 6^{2} h\\first, divide both sides by \pi:\\153=6^{2}h\\153=36h\\divide both sides by 36:\\4.25=h$

Me banks left work at 5:15cpm it took him 1 1/4 hours to drive home at what time did me banks arrive home

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

the answer would be 6:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

if you left work at 5:15 and it took 1 1/4 min to get home

you would

find 1/4 witch would be 15 min because 60/4= 15

then add 1:15 to 5:15

1:15 + 5:15 = 6:30 pm

you arrived home at 6:30 pm

A. Find the measure of m<1<br> B. Find the measure of m<1 ;m<2; m<3

natita [175]

Answer:

A: m<1 = 79 degrees

B: m<1 = 61 degrees, m<2 = 151 degrees, m<3 = 12 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A: An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. 27+52 in this case.

B: The sum of the measures of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Since we know the two angles in the right trinagle are 90 and 29 degrees, we add them and subract the sum from 180 which gives us 61 degrees.

Applying what we know from part A, 61 degrees+90 degrees = m<2.

And, since we know m<2 = 151 degrees, we add that and the 17 degrees to then subtract that sum from 180 to get the measure of angle 3 which is 12 degrees.

What is 4% of the number 250

Alik [6]

The answer should be 10 I think, because if u multiply 250 * 4% u get 10.

Hope I'm right.
