Answer:

It could take several thousands of years.

Explanation:

To be specific, the exact number of stars in the galaxy is unknown, it's estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars.

But for the sake of this test, let's take as valid a recent study of the European space agency, that believes that we have 100 billion stars orbiting our galaxy.

If you could count 1 every second it would mean you'll need at least 100 billion seconds to do it. How many days is that?

We have:

100 billion seconds = 1.666 billion minutes

1.666 billion minutes = 27.777 million hours

27.777 million hours = 1,157 million days = 3,170 years.

You would need at least, 3170 years of spare time, considering that you will do no other thing than counting stars for the next 3 millennia.

Which pair of angles is NOT and example of adjacent angles
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer/Explanation:

Answer choices are not given from which we can choose the pair of angles that are not an example of adjacent angles.

However, let's state all pairs of adjacent angles we have in the given figure above.

First, recall the definition of adjacent angles: 1. Adjacent angles do not overlap

2. They share the same vertex/corner

3. They share the same side

From the figure given, the pairs of adjacent angles that satisfies this definition are:

<LJF and <LJH (they share vertex J and side LJ)

<GHJ and <GHK (they share vertex H and side GH)

<MKH and <MKI (they share vertex K and side MK)

Any given angle pair in the answer choices that is not one of the above stated angle pairs is NOT an example of adjacent angles.
