An angle is 10° more than the measure of its complement. Find the number of degrees in each angle. The angles measure degrees.

1 answer:

5 0

Let the angle be x. The complement of this angle would then be 90-x.

We are told that x is 10 more than 90-x, or x is 90-x+10, or x= 100 - x.

If x = 100 - x, then 2x = 100, and x = 50.

Check: If one angle is 50 degrees, the complement is 90-50, or 40 degrees.

Are 50 and 40 complementary? Yes. They add up to 90. Is 50 10 more than 40? Yes.

The measurements of these two angles are 40 and 50 degrees.

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books offthe edge.The initial velocity of Be

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

Ben:

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

Josh:

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at $h(t)=0$ . Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one.

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$

Since time can only be positive we reject the $t_{2}$ solution and we keep that Ben's book took $t=4.3276$ seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

$t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec$

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took $t=3.6794$ seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

$t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482$

So to answer the original question:

Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?

Josh's textbook reached the ground first
Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Which division problem does the number line below best illustrate? HELLPP!!

sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is A because the “hops” are jumping over two spaces which equals 2/10 simplified to 1/5. and since the number line stops at 2 it’d be 2 and not 1. If you do the keep change flip method for answer option one you get 10.
