What does complumentary mean in geometry?

1 answer:

8 0

If you have a right triangle and one angle in the triangle is 45 degrees, the other would have to be complementary (an angle that adds up to another to form a right angle) so the other angle would have to be 45 degrees to make that a right angle 90 degrees. So complementary angles are two angles that add up to equal 90 degrees.

The shadows of two vertical poles were measured at the same time to be 6m and 15m long. If the first pole is 8cm long, find the

son4ous [18]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow of vertical poles : 6m ; 15m

Length of poles : 8cm ; h

8cm long pole = shadow length, 6m

h cm long pole = shadow length, 15 m

Using cross multiplication :

8cm * 15 m = h cm * 6m

120 = 6h

h = 120 / 6

h = 20 cm

Height of second pole = 20cm

Can someone help? Thanks :D

Answer:

$y\leq -x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing that we can do is look at the equation of the line and then worry about the inequality afterwards.

This line has a y-intercept of 4 and a slope of -1.

This means that the equation of this line would be $y=-x+4$

Now that we have the equation of the line, we just need to determine which inequality sign to use.

As the shaded region is BELOW the line, we will use a less than (<) sign.

As the line is fully shaded, I can only assume that it is meant to include the line, which would mean that $y\leq -x+4$ would be the equation for this inequality.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\$
