Human civilization, at least since the time of ancient Egypt, is on the order of 5000 years old. The age of the Earth is on the

order of 5 billion years. Suppose we use the length of a football field, or about 100 meters, as a timeline to represent the age of the Earth. If we put the birth of the Earth at the start of the timeline, how far from the start of that line would human civilization be?

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

5 *10^9 years       100 m
------------------- = --------------
   5 * 10^3 yrs            x

Reducing the first fraction,
              
             100 m
10^6 = ----------
                 x
                                100 m
Solving for x,  x = ------------- = 10^(-4) m, or [10^(-1)] * [10^(-3))]
                                10^6
this comes out to one tenth of 1 millimeter.

Answer:

The angles are supplementary to each other (their sum is 180 degrees)

x = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+10) + 46 = 180

subtract 56 from each side

2x = 124

divide both sides by 2
