Complentary angles add to 90 degrees
a and b are complentary
a+b=90

a=7x+4
b=4x+9
so
7x+4+4x+9=90
combine like terms
11x+13=90
minus 13 both sides
11x=77
divide both sides by 11
x=7

m a =7x+4=7(7)+4=49+4=53
m b=4x+9=4(7)+9=28+9=37

angle a measures 53 degrees
angle b measures 37 degrees

A would be 53 and b would be 37.
37 +53 =90 complementary angle =90°

A triangle has a 90° angle. What type of triangle is it?

gavmur [86]

A right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees. A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle--which means that it has two sides that are equal. A right isosceles triangle has a 90-degree angle and two 45-degree angles. This is the only right triangle that is an isosceles triangle. But the answer is right triangle

The shipping would be 15.75 because 5% of 15 is 0.75, so add 15 to 0.75 and the answer is 15.75 :)
