Answer:
∠KXN and ∠QXT
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of each angle is the difference of the scale values that the rays intercept. (The same scale needs to be used for each ray.) Of course, complementary angles have a sum of 90°.
Here, we'll refer to angle aXb as "ab".
NP = 95 -35 = 60
PQ = 35 -20 = 15 . . . not complementary to NP
__
KN = 165 -95 = 70
QT = 20 -0 = 20 . . . complementary to KN ⇒ your answer
__
JK = 180 -165 = 15
PQ = 35 -20 = 15 . . . not complementary to JK
__
JK = 15
NK = KN = 70 . . . not complementary to JK
You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft
Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4
Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.
3c+15c/4+c=6
Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.
3.25 would be 3 1/4 because,
Step 1: You would rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. So, 3.25 = 3.24/1
Step 2: Multiply it by 1 to eliminate 2 decimals places, so multiply the top and bottom by 10^2 = 100
3.25/1 x 100/100 = 325/100
Step 3: Now you find the greatest common factor, also known as GCF, of 325 and 100 if it exits then you reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by it. GCF = 25
3.25/100 divided by 25/25 = 13/4
Now you would simplify it to make a proper fraction getting your answer
3 1/4
Does that make sense?
The first one is 24 the second is 96
