What type of angle is it? What is the measurement?

romanna [79]

Below I have included an image that has the measure of all of the angles on it.

We can find the measures of the angles here due to the laws about complimentary angles. A pair of complimentary angles can be formed when 2 lines are perpendicular, and when added together, will always equal 90. The pair are the angles that are not directly adjacent from each other. In this figure, "x" and "(4x-10)" are a pair. According to another law, opposite angles, or adjacent angles, will always be equal to each other. Using the logic above is how we can find the measure of all angles.

Since one angle has a box, we know the lines are perpendicular, and that the laws of complimentary angles apply. We can also use that to see that the angle diagonal from it is equal to 90.

To solve for the other measures, we need to add the 2 equations together and set them equal to 90 (because of that law we talked about before).

x+(4x-10)=90
5x-10=90
+10+10
5x=100
/5 /5
x=20

Now that we know x equals 20, we can substitute that value in and solve.

x=20

=(4x-10)
=(4*20-10)
=(80-10)
=70

We also know this is correct because 20 and 70 equal 90.

1. Which occurrence is not characteristic of global warming? (1 point)

USPshnik [31]

1. An occurrence that is not a characteristic of global warming is;

B. Stabilization in the sea level due to warm weather

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level.

2. A non-impact of global warming on ecosystem is;

D. Food and supplies increase

Climate change not only affects ecosystems and species directly

3. A factor that contributes to the strength of hurricanes is;

A. Warmer ocean temperatures

Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. Once hurricanes move over cold water or over land and lose touch with the hot water that powers them, these storms weaken and break apart.

4. A practice that does not protect the environment is;

D. Frequent usage of a SUV

Car pollution is one of the many major causes of global warming. Cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which contribute one-fifth of the United States' total global warming pollution.

5. A vehicle that is most likely to be fuel efficient is the;

D. Gas-electric hybrid car

Hybrids are the most gasoline efficient of all cars

6. Scientists predict that global warming will cause Ethiopia to experience;

D. Greater frequency of drought-related conditions

The environment is directly impacted by drought. Drought can affect water sources, land, fish and wildlife and plant communities. A lack of water and reduced ability for soil to support crops can affect fish, animals and plant life.

7. A majority of the greenhouse-gas emissions released into the;

C. Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from the sector.

8. The main human activity that contributes to global warming is;

E. Burning of fossil fuels

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radioactive forcing and contributes to global warming.

9. A statement that is true regarding where pollution is most evident is;

A. Areas with a high population density

As people age, their bodies are less able to compensate for the effects of environmental hazards.

10. A human activity that would best support global efforts to improve the environment and to reduce global warming is;

B. Riding a bicycle to a nearby playground

Riding a bike provides a fairly fast and dependable mode of transportation that just happens to save money, getting fit and helping to reduce global warming.
