The measures of an angle and its supplement differ by 40°. What are the measures of the angles? Hint: an angle and its supplemen

t have degree measures whose sum is 180°.
a. Y + (y − 40) = 180; 70°, 30°
b. 2y + (y + 40) = 180; 40°, 140°
c. Y + (y − 40) = 180; 70°, 110°
d. Y + (y − 40) = 180; 60°, 120

Assume y > x

Let the two angles be x and y

then, x + y = 180° ----------------- (i)

It is given the difference between angles is 40 °

So, y-x = 40

x= y-40

now equation (i) becomes

y-40+y = 180°

2y - 40 = 180°

2y = 220°

y = 110°

As x = y - 40

So x = 110-40

x = 70°

Hence the two angles are 110° and 70°

So the correct answer is option C

Calvin is painting an area that is 115 square feet. He is able to paint 2.5 square feet every 2 minutes. At this rate , how long
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Calvin will paint the entire area in 92 minutes or 1 hour 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we know that the total surface are that Calvin is painting is 115 square feet.

The rate at which Calvin is painting refers to the surface area he covers every 2 minutes. This is 2.5 square feet every 2 minutes.

we can set up a relation to solve this problem

If Calvin paints 2.5 ft^{2} in 2 minutes

He will paint 115 ft^{2} in x minutes

By cross multiplying, we have x= \frac{2 \times 115}{2.5}=92 minutes

Hence Calvin will paint the entire area in 92 minutes or 1 hour 32 minutes.
