Step-by-step explanation:
Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.
Answer:
x= 81°, z= 99°, y°=68°
Step-by-step explanation:
considering the part of the triangle where 36° , 63° and x° is located as ΔABC.
to find the measure of x we use angle sum property.
We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, if we know the two angles of a triangle, and we need to find its third angle, we use the angle sum property. We add the two known angles and subtract their sum from 180° to get the measure of the third angle.
so,
∠A + ∠B +∠C = 180°
36° + 63° + x° = 180°
99° + x° = 180°
x° = 180 - 99
x° = 81°
When two lines intersect each other at a single point, linear pairs of angles are formed. If the angles so formed are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines, the angles are said to be linear. If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary, whose measures add up to 180°.
x° + z° = 180°
81° + z = 180°
z= 180 - 81
z= 99°
considering the next part of the triangle where 13° , z° and y° is located as ΔACD
to find the measure of y we use angle sum property.
∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 180°
13° + z° + y° = 180°
13°+99°+y°= 180°
112°+ y° = 180°
y°= 180- 112
y° = 68°
