Answer:

This is done by stating descriptions of these terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Undefinable terms are terms with no formal definitions. Formal definitions are obtained when specific words are used to define a term. In mathematics, specifically, Geometry words like line, point, and plane have no definite definition, So descriptions are used to identify them.

For example, in describing a point, we note that a point has no dimensions, it is usually denoted with a capital letter, and it indicates a position. Also in a coordinate plane, it is denoted with descriptions such as (u,v). Corresponding descriptions are given of other undefinable terms.

1 and 2 are complementary angles. 1 and 3 are vertical angles. If

Marizza181 [45]

If angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary, then they add up to 90 degrees. We are given that angle 2 equals 52 degrees.

So we subtract and get our answer:

That's NOT the final answer.

The next step is:

Angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are congruent.

So if angle 1 is 38, then angle 3 is also 38.

Now, supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

So that's the answer:

180-38=142

142 is the supplement of angle 3.

Hope it helps! :)

What is the slope of this line? −3 4 −3/4 3/4

FinnZ [79.3K]

As you can see, this is a negative slope. It goes down three and over four, as seen on the x and y intercepts. The answer kind of pops out at you.

Ever since renata moved to her new home, she's been keeping track of the height of the tree outside her window. h(t)h(t)h, left

lilavasa [31]

It was 210 cm.

The function she used is h(t) = 210 + 33t. This is a linear function, since it is of the form f(x) = mx+b. In a linear function, we have the slope, m, which tells us how much the height increases per year, and the y-intercept, b, which tells us how tall it was when we began measuring. Our m value would be 33 and our b would be 210, so the original height was 210.
