Let G be some point on the diagonal line away from point E.
Angle DEG represents angle 1.
We're given that angle DEF is a right angle which means it's 90 degrees. Angle DEG is some angle smaller than 90 degrees. By definition, that must mean angle 1 is acute. Any acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees. There's not much else to say other than this is just a definition problem.
----------------
Extra side notes:
If angle 1 was a right angle, then that would mean angle GEF would have to be 0 degrees; however the diagram shows this isn't the case.
If angle 1 was obtuse, then there's no way we'd be able to fit it into angle DEF. In other words, there's no way to have an angle larger than 90 fit in a 90 degree angle.
Solving for the missing variable
Answer
-8, -7, -2, 3, 5
Explanation
Positive numbers go up as they increase.
Negative numbers go up as they decrease.
Answer:
x = -8
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x - 22
y = x + 2
x + 2 = -2x - 22
x + 2x = -22 - 2
3x = -24
x = -24 : 3
x= -8
y = -8 + 2
y = -6
