Answer:

The statement is always true because the sum of the two angles must be 180 degrees to be supplementary. If the first angle is an acute angle, then it has a measure of less than 90 degrees. To sum 180 degrees, the second angle would need to be more than 90 degrees, making it an obtuse angle.

The statement “The supplement of an acute angle is an obtuse angle.” is always true because the sum of any two supplementary angles is 180°, so if one of them less than 90° (acute), then the other must be greater than 90° (obtuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some facts about the supplementary angles

Supplementary angles are two angles the sum of their measure is 180°
The two angles could be right angles or one of them is acute and the other is obtuse
The two angles can not be acute angles or obtuse angles

Let us take some examples to explain the facts above

∵ One of two supplementary angles is a right angle

∵ The measure of the right angle is 90°

∵ The sum of the measures of the supplementary angles is 180°

∴ 90 + the measure of the supplement angle = 180

- Subtract 90 from both sides

∴ The measure of the supplement angle = 90°

∴ The supplement of a right angle must be a right angle

∵ One of two supplementary angles is 70°

∵ Its measure less than 90°

∴ This angle is an acute angle

∵ The sum of the measures of the supplementary angles is 180°

∴ 70 + the measure of the supplement angle = 180

- Subtract 70 from both sides

∴ The measure of the supplement angle = 110°

∵ Its measure greater than 90°

∴ The supplement angle is an obtuse angle

∴ The supplement of an acute angle must be an obtuse angle

The two supplementary angles can not be acute angles because their sum is less than 180°

The two supplementary angles can not be obtuse angles because their sum is greater than 180°

The statement “The supplement of an acute angle is an obtuse angle.” is always true because the sum of any two supplementary angles is 180°, so if one of them less than 90° (acute), then the other must be greater than 90° (obtuse)

There are 100 men and 100 seats, and each person has a pre-assigned seat. However, the first person is randomly assigned (either

olganol [36]

Answer:

1 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

- First observe that the fate of the last person is determined the moment either the first or the last seat is selected! This is because the last person will either get the first seat or the last seat. Any other seat will necessarily be taken by the time the last guy gets to 'choose'.

- Since at each choice step, the first or last is equally probable to be taken, the last person will get either the first or last with equal probability: 1/2

- Armed with the key observation, we see that the event that the last person's correct seat is free, is exactly the same as the event that the first person's seat was taken before the last person's seat.

- Well, each person had to make a random choice, was equally likely to choose the first person's seat or the last person's seat - the random chooser exhibits absolutely no preference towards a particular seat. This means that the probability that one seat is taken before the other must be 1/2

Please help I’ll mark you as branlst

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the degree of the angle is 45, we know that the triangle is isosceles. That means that the sides of the triangle, not including the hypotenuse, has a length of 3√2.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, we have (3√2)^2 + (3√2)^2 = c^2.

Note: c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

18 + 18 = c^2

= 36 = c^2

Therefore, c = 6.
